Last August, Fortnite was pulled from the iOS App Store after Epic surreptitiously activated a direct payment option for V-Bucks, bypassing Apple’s in-app purchase system and the 30% discount. This kicked off a major protest against Apple’s “monopoly” rules for the Apple App Store, which were ruled on earlier this year.
Recently, a new law introduced in South Korea specifically prohibits the exclusivity of the payment system in apps and legally requires Apple to allow alternatives to in-app purchase for digital products. Today, Epic announced plans to re-release Fortnite for iOS in South Korea with its own payment system.
