Epic Games, the creator of popular game Fortnite, has filed a complaint against Apple, claiming that the tech giant’s measures on its APP Store violated a court ruling. The dispute between Apple and Epic Games escalated recently when Apple terminated Epic Games’ developer account.
In response to the termination, the European Union has launched an investigation into Apple and may potentially fine the company again. The ongoing feud between Apple and Epic Games has raised concerns among EU regulators about potential antitrust violations.
Despite the tensions between the two companies, Apple has made a surprising move by restarting Epic Games’ developer account, sparking speculation of a temporary truce. This decision comes after Apple faced backlash for closing Epic Games’ account.
The move to restart Epic Games’ developer account may prevent further legal conflicts between the two companies, but it remains to be seen whether this will lead to a lasting resolution. The case between Apple and Epic Games continues to unfold, with many watching closely to see how it will impact the future of app distribution and monetization on mobile devices.
