Gaming in terms has been such an insane industry over the years from early 2013 when the ESL launched one of the biggest leagues and put esports on the map and since then a series of partnership and legal l issues have been firing up due to the cash grab of an industry. the latest and current has to be the apple vs epic games.
Apple recently banned the popular esports game "fortnite" from the app store as well as google banning it from the play store due to epic games breaking the in app purchases contract in which epic is to pay 30% of all in app purchases to apple and google. epic games thought this was unfair as they created a system in which you can purchase in app items without using apple pay or google pay to block the 30 % commission. Apple responded by removing the game from their store. epic has replied to this action by suing apple.
The judge rules the removal of "fortnite" from the apple store but grants access to all unreal engine game.
The unreal engine is a game engine developed by epic games and the lawsuit was to affect all games created by the unreal engine in the app or play store but the judge seems to rule in the favor of the masses and not the mega corporations themselves.
What are your thoughts on the matter and the timeline surrounding the apple vs epic case.
