Raphael Kyle Caoile Manansala discusses the actions of Epic Games on August 13, 2020 when the company introduced a gaming update that included a new payment system where revenue would go directly and entirely to Epic Games. This was accomplished by circumventing Apple’s 30% fee by not using Apple’s in-app payment system that all Apple Store applications (“app(s)”, also referred to as program(s)) are subjected to use. Because Epic Games knowingly violated the App Store’s terms and conditions, Apple removed the game from the App Store. Epic Games responded with an anti-trust lawsuit against Apple. If Epic proves that Apple’s practices are anti-competitive and an unfair monopoly, it could lead to the App Store fundamentally changing.
