Apple: Legal action Epic game is an ‘attack’ on a secure ANP system
Apple claims to have “abused” a secure computer by the iPhone maker, abusing the power of Fortnight maker Epic Games. But Tim Sweeney, the CEO of the developer of the popular shooting game, disagrees. He argued in a U.S. court on Monday that Apple has a “core platform” with the iOS operating system and App Store, of which companies like Epic are highly dependent. According to him, it is unlikely that Apple will use this strong position to make significant profits.
On Monday, a trial began in the United States, and it has been weeks. The epic accuses Apple of abusing its position of authority by requiring apps to use Apple’s payment system and hand over 30 percent of revenue. According to experts, this is one of the most important cases in the American technology world over the years. This is because the revenue model of big tech companies like Apple and Google is under discussion here.
Epic and Apple have been at loggerheads since last year, after Epic unilaterally decided to add its own payment system to its iPhone app. Apple forbids this in its Terms of Use, so Epic removed the program from the App Store. Epic has also complained about Apple in the European Union, Great Britain and Australia.
