US Appleteeth,mEpic Gameswon 9 out of 10 appeals in antitrust (antitrust) lawsuits filed once morest the company.
In this lawsuit, Epic Games launched an external payment service following showing dissatisfaction with the 30% processing fee collected on the App Store when making purchases, and Apple deleted the Epic Games account on the App Store as a violation of the terms. It started from 2020.
The court ruling directed Epic Games to pay Apple 30% of the $12 million it earned when it introduced external payments in Fortnite, and Apple was instructed to change its terms to allow external payments. .
Epic Games claims that Apple is violating the antitrust law, and Apple is dissatisfied with the change in the App Store terms regarding external payments, and both have filed an appeal once morest this ruling. As a result, the appeals court’s ruling was the same as the first instance’s ruling, rejecting most of Epic Games’ claims and continuing to instruct Apple to allow external payments.
According to Bloomberg, Apple has called the appeal, which won nine out of 10 cases, a “overwhelming victory” and is considering the remaining one. Meanwhile, Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney said that although Apple won the lawsuit, external payments were made possible.
