Epic games is suing Apple for removing Fortnite from the App Store.

Yesterday, Epic Games started an epic fight by adding a new payment mechanism to bypass Apple's 30% cut. Apple responded by booting Fortnite off its platform, and Epic Games immediately bit back with a ready-made 64-page lawsuit. To round it off, they premiered a short film titled Nineteen Eighty Fortnite, a spoof of Apple's 1984 commercial. Soon after, Fortnite for Android was kicked off the Google Play store, and Epic fired off another lawsuit against Google, using its old "Don't Be Evil" mantra against it.

Relevant: Changing Apple's App Store model would suck for everyone except Epic Games.
