Epic Sues Apple and Google in the UK [Jan 15, 2021, 12:46 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Epic Games is opening another front in their legal war against Apple and Google
over Fortnite royalties. Epic's lawsuit against Apple is expected to
start in January and they have
also sued Apple in Australia. Now the
BBC reports Epic is
now also suing Apple and Google in the UK. Here are the details:
Epic Games alleges that both companies abuse their power by:
- unfairly restricting competition from alternative app stores
- stopping developers using their own payment-processing services for purchases
- charging "unfair prices for the distribution of apps"
Epic Games is not seeking a financial payout but instead wants the court to order Apple and Google to:
- reinstate Epic Games' software and accounts
- let developers use their own payment-processing systems in their apps
- let consumers download Epic Games' software outside of the App Store or Google Play
In a statement, Epic Games said: "We believe that this is an important argument to make on behalf of consumers and developers in the UK and around the world who are impacted by Apple and Google's misuse of market power."

Abandon all of those idiots on an island along with their dumb ass supporters'. It will make Lord of the Flies come to Life.
