Epic first brought this suit to Apple following Apple’s removal of Fortnite from its App Store last year after Epic incorporated the ability to skirt Apple’s payment system, thus avoiding Apple’s 30% platform fee.
Even though a US Court today ruled that Apple was not a monopoly and did not violate antitrust laws in the Epic v.
Apple suit, it didn’t have kind things to say about Apple’s 30% take rate on in-app purchases.
This was brought as evidence against Apple, with Epic suggesting that its hold on the market and insistence on 30% ultimately drove prices up for consumers.
