Jakarta (ANTARA) – Developer of the game “Fortnite”, Epic Game, again asked the court to stop Apple’s “revenge” against them since game is blocked from the App Store.
Quoted by Reuters on Monday, Epic Games filed a preliminary order with the District Court in the Northern District of California, United States, that game they can return to the App Store and have their developer account restored.
The developer argued that they were suffering irreversible losses because there was no preliminary injunction.
Epic Games in the file accused Apple of having a monopoly because it explicitly banned competitors.
Apple recently shut down the Epic Games account on the App Store after the developer violated Apple’s terms of payment methods. Epic Games created a payment system that would go directly to them, instead of using Apple’s system, which was subject to a 30 percent commission.
IPhone users can no longer download Fortnite or game others made by Epic Games on the App Store.
Even so, Apple says this policy does not affect developer accounts for the Unreal Engine, the software made by Epic Games that other developers use to support. game or their application.
Apple says it can add Fortnite to the App Store again if Epic Game removes the payment method they created themselves.
Epic Games rejected Apple’s suggestion, arguing that complying with Apple meant “colluding with Apple to perpetuate its monopoly on payments on iOS”.
