Apple & Epic agree no in-person court necessary after 'Fortnite' restored to App Store


Apple was in danger of having to show up in court on May 27 if it didn't respond satisfactorily to a show cause order by Wednesday, but neither is no longer necessary.

Epic gets to make money with external linking options in the app, while Apple gets to benefit from one of the most popular games in the world running on iPhone and iPad. The company will appeal and fight for its right to collect some kind of commission on all digital sales and in-game currencies until the courts tell them to stop. The outcome will force Apple to compete directly with alternative payment systems and better incentivize customers and developers to use IAP.
