How did they breach the contract?

[–] ryper@lemmy.ca 12 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Epic changed the mobile versions of Fortnite to add an option to pay for V-Bucks through their own system, which is against the terms of both Apple's app store and Google's. That got them kicked off of both app stores and then they sued Apple and Google.

Ahh, I didn't quite understand from goggling what exactly the problem was. What else would Epic do, though? I don't think they could have just sued for damages.
