#Fortnite violations App Store

The mobile versions of Fortnite for iOS and Android devices have been removed from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. As reported by The Verge and the Android Police, Epic Games implemented its own in-app payment portal on Fortnite's latest update that offers 20% off on VBucks. Both app stores require developers with in-app products to use their respective billing systems, giving them 30% of the revenue from every successful in-app transaction. The latter said that Epic Games violated its guidelines "that are applied equally to every developer and designed to keep the store safe for our users" and has initially agreed on terms and conditions freely.
