Apple has pulled Fortnite from the\u00a0App Store after reports surfaced this morning of an option Epic was including in the game to bypass the App\u00a0Store pricing, allowing users to make purchases from Epic directly. Apple responded by pulling Fortnite from the App store completely. Epic Games responded by airing\u00a0a “1984”<\/a> style video inside Fortnite.\u00a0Watch the video\u00a0inside this tweet:<\/p>\n Epic Games has defied the App Store Monopoly. In retaliation, Apple is blocking Fortnite from a billion devices.<\/p>\n Visit https:\/\/t.co\/K3S07w5uEk<\/a> and join the fight to stop 2020 from becoming “1984” https:\/\/t.co\/tpsiCW4gqK<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Fortnite (@FortniteGame) August 13, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n It’s a big shot at Apple that hearkens back to ancient tech history when Apple introduced the Macintosh.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Click here to watch embedded media<\/a><\/p>\n Yes, this battle between two companies that are as rich as Croesus<\/a>\u00a0is full of twists, turns, and even mobilizing the Fortnite userbase with a hashtag, #FreeFortnite, in the battle against Apple.
