Apple just kicked Fortnite off the App Store

Epic Games has filed a lawsuit [1] and published a Fortnite-themed parody of Apple's "1984" [2] to get some publicity for it.

A PR stunt from Epic and everyone's falling for it.

My favourite is trying to spin two billion dollar companies fighting over percentages as some “big brother” battle. I don’t remember this part of 1984.

I feel like epic has more to show off soon. Apple rejected facebook, microsoft and google in the last 2 weeks when they were trying to get their game centres approved.

wow, how is that not unfair competition?

Does Microsoft allow other stores on the Xbox?

What about Sony and Nintendo?

Does Epic allow people to buy stuff for Fortnite from outside of Fortnite and other companies?

I don’t see how that would work per se, but, they do let you process payments for their in game currency via Xbox, Sony, whatever platform.
