Apple Seeks Damages From Epic In Newest Court Filing
In addition to wanting Epic's external payment system permanently stopped and removed, Apple wants all earnings and profits generated as a result of Epic making it possible for players to bypass the App store's payment system. Apple also claimed that it has been "injured in its business and has suffered damages, loss of goodwill and product image, and other harm."
Apple's filing is in response to Epic's preliminary injunction against Apple to get Fortnite back on the App store. Epic's Apple developer account was terminated on August 28, and prior to that, Epic's appeal for a restraining order was partially denied. The judge ruled that Apple will not be forced to put Fortnite back in stores, but also that Apple cannot touch Epic's Unreal Engine, which is used by many other developers.
After Apple terminated Epic's development account, the company told GameSpot, "We are disappointed that we have had to terminate the Epic Games account on the App Store. We have worked with the team at Epic Games for many years on their launches and releases. The court recommended that Epic comply with the App Store guidelines while their case moves forward, guidelines they’ve followed for the past decade until they created this situation. Epic has refused. Instead they repeatedly submit Fortnite updates designed to violate the guidelines of the App Store. This is not fair to all other developers on the App Store and is putting customers in the middle of their fight. We hope that we can work together again in the future, but unfortunately that is not possible today."
Both Apple and Epic are not backing down, and it's likely that Fortnite will not be on an iOS device anytime soon. You can read GameSpot's full explanation on what is exactly going on in Apple and Epic's lawsuit.

HatTrixLood Apple seeking damages? For what? I mean this is kinda the whole point of the case but is Epic not hurting enough after having their top game removed entirely from a massive portion of the mobile market?
Their image. Which really epic is trying to make them look like bad guys. We have a bunch of retards who may think Apple is the bad guy when in reality, they are just standing up for the policy everyone else adheres to.
So if we make a law that says to chop off your left arm will you comply? This policy is to force all apps to use apples payment system so they can take a 30% cut and gives no alternatives. Apple wont even allow the devs to have both options visible.
