EGS Infiltrates Apple Devices in Europe, Sparking Fresh Round of Hostile Takeover
In a brazen power play, the Epic Games Store has finally secured a foothold on Apple devices in Europe, but only after a contentious battle between the two tech giants. Apple, notorious for its ruthless business tactics, initially stonewalled the EGS, citing "trivial" reasons for rejecting the app, such as the "Install" button being too similar to Apple’s own "Get" button. Epic, fed up with Apple’s obstructionism, took to social media to expose the tech giant’s dirty laundry.
This latest development is just the latest salvo in the ongoing war between Apple and Epic, which has been raging for four years. The feud began when Epic took issue with Apple’s draconian 30% commission on in-app purchases, leading to the removal of Fortnite from the iOS App Store. The drama culminated in a partial legal victory for Epic, which has since led to a series of related and unrelated legal developments in the European Union.
In a shocking turn of events, Fortnite will soon return to iPhones in the EU, leaving many to wonder when or if the popular game will ever return to the US market. As the battle between Apple and Epic continues to rage on, one thing is clear: the EGS’s infiltration of Apple devices in Europe is a major blow to the tech giant’s dominance.
