As for Epic, it sued Apple in response and asked the court to compel Apple to change its App Store policy. In particular, it wants the tech giant to take a smaller cut for in-app purchases and change the rule that prevents developers from selling the same services outside the App Store. A few days after the lawsuit was filed, Apple Epic announced that it would end all of its developer plans and release its iOS and Mac development tools on August 28th. Epic filed another lawsuit against the company, asking the court to stop it from developing its tools.
True to the anti-Apple theme, the tournament includes prizes intended to encourage players to use devices from brands other than Apple. Epic is giving away 1,200 pieces of gaming hardware, including the Alienware Gaming Laptop, Samsung Galaxy Tab S7, OnePlus 8, PlayStation 4 Pro, Xbox One X and Nintendo Switch, to the top gamers.
