Apple Countersues "Fortnite" Creator Epic Games
The epic battle between Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) and Epic Games over the latter's Fortnite is getting more intense. On Tuesday, it was revealed that the tech giant has sued the video game developer for breach of contract and on other counts, responding in kind to legal actions Epic Games brought against it previously.
The dispute between the two companies centers around the 30% fee Apple charges most developers for sales of paid apps and in-app extras. On Aug. 13, Epic introduced an in-game buying option for the mobile version of Fortnite that circumvented both Apple's App Store and Alphabet's (NASDAQ: GOOG)(NASDAQ: GOOGL) Google Play platforms (Google also charges a 30% fee).
