This week, Andy and Josh (begrudgingly) discuss Fortnite. The elder statesman in the battle royale genre has been no stranger to the headlines, and the court system, as people keep trying to sue them. This time, the tables have turned. It's Epic Games's turn to sue somebody, and they aimed high.
Apple and Google have been tech giants for decades, but they've become a bit stingy when it comes to their 30% developer fees on their respective app stores. Epic wasn't having it anymore, so they filed a suit and put out a smear campaign against Apple and Google. They wanted to get 100% of the money from the microtransactions instead of 70%. With the Epic Games store already established, they were already on their way to doing so. In response, Apple and Google took Fortnite off of their stores. If you take a shot at the king, you best not miss. Was this a dumb move, or will it work out in Epic Games's favor in the end?
