Epic Games took Apple to court following the removal of Fortnite from the App Store.
Epic Games believes Apple’s rules add a 30% tax on all of your purchases, and they punish game developers like us who offer direct payment options
Apple did change its rules a week prior to allow third-party developers to link to external websites for in-app purchases following an agreement reached with the Japan Fair Trade Commission to close its own App Store investigation. However, it was limited to just “reader” apps like Spotify, Netflix, and others.
In the court case it was ruled that Apple must allow third-party developers to use alternative payment methods.
