Epic Games, the publisher of the online game Fortnite, announced on Monday that it has taken legal action to prevent Apple from excluding the game from its app store and asked a judge to prevent the Apple group from exercising reprisals against other titles in its catalog.
According to Epic, Apple plans to exclude it entirely from its development tools from August 28.
Apple pulled Fortnite from its app store last week, blaming Epic for breaking its revenue-sharing rules.
Along with legal proceedings to overturn this exclusion, Epic has launched a social media campaign under the slogan “#FreeFortnite” calling on players to demand refunds from Apple if they lose access to the game.
