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

Well, I’m sure we all remember the rapidly escalating drama between Apple and Epic Games from last week. In short, Epic implemented an alternate payment method into Fortnite on iOS allowing users to purchase the in-game currency V-Bucks directly through Epic at a 20% discount.
