If you’ve been following along with the saga between Epic Games and Apple, you’ll remember that this all started when Epic changed the way that players make in-app purchases in Fortnite, which violated the App Store terms of service. This led to Apple removing the game from the App Store, which Epic Games immediately answered with a lawsuit and marketing campaign to match. After months of public back and forth, the two are finally meeting in court to settle their differences.
