\n Epic Games is asking a judge to prevent Apple from retaliating against it as it resists the iPhone maker\u2019s policy of taking a 30-percent cut of all in-app purchases.<\/p>\n

The maker of \u201cFortnite\u201d \u2014 the mega-popular game which was banned from the App Store last week after it introduced a new payment system that circumvents Apple\u2019s fees \u2014 on Monday asked for a restraining order to keep Apple from terminating its developer accounts and cutting it off from its development tools on Aug. 28.<\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s threatened move would have a massive ripple effect across the mobile game industry, as Epic also makes the Unreal Engine, a tool that other game developers use to power their three-dimensional graphics. The tool is also used by millions of other developers, including medical imaging companies and car designers, Epic said.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u201cThe ensuing impact on the Unreal Engine\u2019s viability, and the trust and confidence developers have in that engine, cannot be repaired with a monetary award,\u201d Epic said in its filing in California federal court.<\/p>\n

Epic CEO Timothy Sweeney said \u201cFortnite\u201d had 350 million registered users as of June 2020, but that Apple\u2019s move will stop them from getting the updates needed to play the game\u2019s most popular mode \u2014 a \u201cBattle Royale\u201d match of up 100 players where the last survivor wins.<\/p>\n

\u201cApple\u2019s actions will \u2018break\u2019 Fortnite for millions of existing players,\u201d Sweeney wrote, saying Epic updates the game every few weeks. \u201cBecause iOS users can no longer update the game, they will be unable to play Fortnite with most other players, who will have the then-current version available on other platforms\u201d such as PCs.<\/p>\n

\nApple, for its part, has argued that Fortnite\u2019s problem is entirely of its own creation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe problem Epic has created for itself is one that can easily be remedied if they submit an update of their app that reverts it to comply with the guidelines they agreed to and which apply to all developers,\u201d Apple said in a statement.\u00a0\u201cWe won\u2019t make an exception for Epic because we don\u2019t think it\u2019s right to put their business interests ahead of the guidelines that protect our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Epic has rolled out a social media<\/a> campaign with the hashtag #FreeFortnite, urging players to seek refunds from Apple if they lose access to the game, and creating a parody of Apple\u2019s famous \u201c1984\u201d television ad.<\/p>\n

Fortnite last week sued Apple and Google after the tech giants booted it from their app stores, accusing them of monopolistic practices and arguing that they should lower the fees they charge app developers that rely on their marketplace.<\/p>\n
