Why Did Fortnite Sue Apple?
Last updated
Ever wondered, “Why did Fortnite sue Apple?” Let’s dive into this high-stakes battle between two giants.
So, what’s the deal with Fortnite taking Apple to court? We’re about to break it down for you, easy-peasy.
Fortnite vs. Apple: The Showdown
In simple terms, Fortnite sued Apple because they weren’t happy with the App Store’s rules. Specifically, it was about the money. Apple takes a 30% cut of any money spent in apps on their devices. Fortnite thought this was way too much and tried to get around it. That didn’t sit well with Apple at all.
When Fortnite added a direct payment option inside their game, which allowed players to buy V-Bucks (Fortnite’s currency) directly from Epic Games (thus avoiding Apple’s 30% fee), Apple said “no way” and kicked Fortnite off the App Store. This move sparked the legal battle that’s been buzzing in the gaming and tech worlds.
