Epic Games viral ‘1984’ ad campaign against Apple
On August 13, 2020, Epic Games decided to implement direct payments for “Fortnite” in an attempt to circumvent Apple’s 30% App Store commission. Apple then pulled the game from the App Store and Epic Games, expressing surprise, launched what proved to have been a long-planned legal battle.
Some three years and five months later, that battle is finally ended, with no more opportunities for appeal. Throughout the long saga, Epic Games has mostly lost at every step, but Apple did not always win.
