The relationship between Epic Games and Apple became widely known due to a legal dispute. In 2020, Epic Games, the creator of the popular game Fortnite, challenged Apple's App Store policies by introducing a direct payment option in Fortnite, bying Apple's 30% commission on in-app purchases. Apple responded by removing Fortnite from the App Store, leading to a major lawsuit. Epic accused Apple of anti-competitive behavior, claiming that the company had a monopoly on app distribution and payments within its ecosystem. The case, which addressed broader issues of app store policies and digital marketplaces, attracted significant attention and sparked debate about the control tech giants have over their platforms.
