Epic Games: Apple made false statements about Fortnite |
(Epic Games) The company said in a new legal document in the commented headline: Apple had misrepresented its legal documents earlier this week to confirm that Apple had chosen Google search results to understand the popularity of the Fortnite category - its game.
Apple claims that the Epic Games suit is just an advertisement and an attempt to exhaust interest in Fortnite on iOS.
In a new response to Apple, the court initially requested that Fortnite be kept in the App Store. (Epic Games) declined to confirm that Apple's interest in the game decreased by 70% between October 2019 and July 2020.
(Epic Games): Apple used fake Fortnite public data obtained from Google's search engine, indicating that the number of active Fortnite players increased by 39% during the same period.
(Epic Games) also denied many other allegations, and denied Apple's claim that removing the (Epic Games) application would help improve security and privacy because Apple did not find the direct payment system and the game provided by Fortanite. Security issue with the update.
(Epic Games) said: The app has been using in-game updates for many years and there are no objections.
(Epic Games) also conflicts with Apple's view that the App Store should make in-app purchases, which implies that the purchase of real products (such as Amazon and Uber) is not required. Use the system yourself.
He rejected the allegations of Apple (Epic Games) that underlie the current situation, stating that it was only using the powers recognized by the Supreme Court to reject non-competitive contractual terms.
Apparently, there is no guarantee that the court will look into matters in any particular way (an epic game) and force Apple to release Fortnite until a decision is made in the lawsuit.
The number of players gives us an idea of how Fortnite works on iOS. Despite the increase in the number of players on (iOS), it appears (Epic Games) have taken risky measures not to dampen people's interest in the game.
The longer Fortnite is in the App Store, the more likely it is that Epic Games will lose its former momentum and the money that comes with it.
