Summary
So when Epic willfully and knowingly breached its agreements by secretly installing a “hotfix” into its app to bypass Apple’s payment system and App Review Process, it knew full well what would happen and, in so doing, has knowingly and purposefully created the harm to game players and developers it now asks the Court to step in and remedy.The Verge reported that Apple executive Phil Schiller says Epic CEO Tim Sweeney asked for a “special deal” for Epic that would “fundamentally change the way in which Epic offers apps on Apple’s iOS platform.” Apple declined, leading to Epic making a change to payment processing in Fortnite last week.In its filing, Apple reiterated that it will welcome Fortnite back on the App Store if the game adheres to the company’s rules:Apple wants Epic on iOS.
