Epic vs. Manzana. Has exploded the war between two of the most powerful corporations in the world of technology and entertainment. Epic Games (and its CEO Tim Sweeney) have long complained about the commission Apple charged on payments within third-party apps on its App Store.
A few hours ago, Epic lowered the prices of all payments within the Fortnite game on all platforms. In the case of iOS and Android mobiles, it incorporated a option to pay directly through the app, bypassing the Apple and Google payment gateway.
This violated the rules of both digital stores, and as a consequence, Apple removed Fortnite from the AppStore. Immediately after, Epic announced that it was suing Apple...

Of course, this is a parody of the announcement that Apple launched in 1984 to announce the Macintosh, based on the novel by George Orwell (and which was directed by Ridley Scott).
If you have Fortnite on an iOS device, you will be able to continue playing, but you will not be able to receive new updates, and you won't be able to download it again. The company encourages users to use the hashtag #FreeFortnite to demand greater freedom from developers who launch games on the Apple platform.

With the change in the payment of Fortnite, Epic offers a 20% discount on V-Bucks and other in-game purchases, which they say would be impossible with the rules and the 30% commission that it imposes on all developers who launch games and applications in its store.
