The battle between Apple and Epic Games over Fortnite and in-app purchases has gone nuclear after the companies traded lawsuits and threats over a dispute that could impact hundreds of millions of players around the world. The new lawsuit comes after Apple told Epic that it would take actions that would directly affect Unreal Engine 4, Epic’s game development platform. Epic Games filed a lawsuit Monday in the District Court for the Northern District of California against Apple seeking a temporary restraining order “from removing, de-listing, refusing to list or

Apple has removed Fortnite from the App Store after the game’s developer announced new payment options that allow players to buy in-game credits direct from Epic Games. In response, Epic has taken legal action and filed a lawsuit in the District Court of Northern California to end Apple’s anti-competitive restrictions on mobile device marketplaces. The new payment option appears to skirt Apple’s App Store and Google’s Play Store rules, which require Epic to give up a 30% cut of the revenue made through the app. In announcement on its website, Epic dropped

Shortly after the game shut down, Epic announced it would be releasing millions of dollars worth of Paragon assets to Unreal Engine 4 developers, and now that generosity is coming to fruition.At least four new MOBAs are now being
