The legal battle between Epic and Apple over the App Store is expected to reach the Supreme Court. The controversy began when Epic sought to change the App Store’s policy on fees, leading to a lawsuit. Epic’s main contention is Apple’s 30% commission for in-app purchases, which it claims is anti-competitive. The dispute escalated when Apple removed Fortnite from the App Store for allowing direct payments, and Epic responded by filing a lawsuit against Apple. Epic’s CEO, Tim Sweeney, has criticized Apple’s fee structure and monopoly on software distribution. Epic has also faced criticism for its own business practices, including exclusive game launches and partnerships with other companies. The legal battle is ongoing, with the future of Fortnite and Epic’s developer tools at stake.
