Fortnite pulled from App Store, Epic Games sues Apple

I somewhat agree with Jim here, I think there’s a legitimacy in the questioning of Apple’s policies regarding app distribution and cost because they have the eco-system locked down (Google is a different story though), but these concerns bring brought about by Epic, and in this clearly deliberate and premeditated manner seems a bit sinister.

I have to even admit, looking at the roll-out of their suit and the PR accompanying it, it’s almost impossible for me to imagine the switch of their in-game monetization was a bait for Apple and Google to remove Fortnite from their app stores, thereby necessitating the suit (which seems thoroughly planned prior to the move).
