The final amount that Epic disbursed to Apple corresponds to the charges made to customers who had already installed the application and were actively using it before the update that cost it its expulsion from the App Store. In that period the company raised $ 12,167,719.
One of the most controversial lawsuits in the world of technology originated after Epic Games developers introduced an alternative payment system to avoid paying App Store commissions, Apple decided to remove the Epic Games developer account and remove the game from its store. Since then those of Cupertino refused to include the game again and give in to pressure from Epic Games.
After months of analyzing the evidence from the trial that began in May of this year, the judge in the case Yvonne González Rogers determined that Apple did not have a monopoly on mobile games. But it was ordered to allow the developers add “buttons, external links or other calls to action that direct customers to purchasing mechanisms”. This new option will allow developers to provide payment options other than in-app purchase in their apps.
Despite the verdict and the sum paid to Apple, Epic Games filed an appeal against the ruling. While Apple has yet to decide whether or not it wants to appeal this ruling.
