In August 2020, both Apple and Google removed Fortnite from their app stores. This action was taken after Epic Games, the developer of Fortnite, introduced a direct payment feature that bypassed the platforms' standard payment systems, which typically charge developers up to 30% in commissions. This led to a series of lawsuits challenging the companies' practices and policies regarding app distribution and payment processing.
