Epic wants to force Apple to let Fortnite on iOS - at least in a country

The dispute between the billion Group EPIC Games (Fortnite) and the trillion group Apple (IOS) continues. Now Epic Games wants to use a new law in South Korea to make Fortnite again on iOS playable. Fortnite has been playable on those smartphones that run with iOS for about a year.

That's the situation:

Epic Games in August 2020, however, protested that Apple branched up 30% of Fortnite's revenue in the App Store and avoided the payment method in a night and fog campaign. Apple then banished Fortnite from iOS. Since then, there are always disputes between Epic Games and Apple: Epic Games throws Apple, they are greedy. They wanted so much proportion of the profit of games on iOS that it is the game development worldwide. Apple represents Epic Games as a word brittle dizziness. They would only complain to keep their weakening game relevant. Now a new law in South Korea again offers space for an attack. Epic Games picks up.

New law in South Korea demands opening by App Store and Google Play

W AS is this for a law in South Korea? The law forces Apple and Google to allow alternative payment options in their stores. Should the tech giants refuse to follow the law, penalties of up to 3% of their sales in South Korea threaten.

According to a report by The Verge, lobbyists already work in the US to bypass the law. That would violate a trade agreement, after all, the law would try to influence the behavior of companies sitting in the US.

We intend to re-publish Fortnite in South Korea

This does Epic Games: You say on Twitter:

Epic asked Apple to restore the Fortnite Developer Account. EPIC intends to republish Fortnite on iOS in South Korea and offer both our payment system as well as those of Apple, in accordance with the new Korean law.

The Tweet has reached more than 20,000 Likes after a few hours.

This is behind it: This is clear to a new maneuver to exert constant pressure on Apple. Epic Games wants to force a decision in this case and again and again Apple pies.

The new proposal would now be a compromise. The players would have the free choice, if they prefer to buy their V coins at Apple or Epic Games. By price estates Epic Games could make the players very easily.

You can probably assume that Apple will not yield.
