| Captain_Yuri said: Apple fires back in court, says Epic Games CEO asked for special treatment "Sweeney said earlier this month that Epic is not seeking a “special deal” with Apple that other iOS app makers don’t get. But in Friday’s filing, Apple disputed that point. “On June 30, 2020, Epic’s CEO Tim Sweeney wrote my colleagues and me an email asking for a ‘side letter’ from Apple that would create a special deal for only Epic that would fundamentally change the way in which Epic offers apps on Apple’s iOS platform,” former Apple Senior Vice President Phil Schiller wrote in a declaration. Schiller, whose title is now Fellow, runs Apple’s App Store. Apple said Sweeney was asking permission for Epic to bypass in-app purchases and allow Fortnite players to pay it directly. Schiller said that Sweeney emailed him the morning that Forntite changed its payment mechanism saying that it “will no longer adhere to Apple’s payment processing restrictions.” Epic has asked for a temporary restraining order that would place Fortnite back on the App Store. A hearing on that order is scheduled for Monday in the Northern District of California. “In the wake of its own voluntary actions, Epic now seeks emergency relief. But the ‘emergency’ is entirely of Epic’s own making,” Apple’s lawyers said in the filing. " |
Epic is the real culprit here. Hence why the fortnite video against Apple was released so quick. They had it all prepared. But they didn't expect to be also kicked out by Google.
