\n Apple turned up the heat in its high-stakes legal battle against \u201cFortnite\u201d developer Epic Games on Tuesday, filing a countersuit asking for damages resulting from lost App Store fees.<\/p>\n

Apple, which kicked \u201cFortnite\u201d off the App Store last month after Epic instituted a new payment system which would have allowed it to circumvent the 30 percent cut Apple takes from App Store purchases, is also seeking an order to force Epic to disable the payment system on Apple devices.<\/p>\n

The closely watched saga\u00a0could have ripple effects across the app ecosystem. The App Store is the only way to get apps onto Apple\u2019s phones and iPads.<\/p>\n

The Tuesday filing asks for \u201crestitution and disgorgement of all earnings, profits, compensation, benefits, and other ill-gotten gains obtained by Epic as a result of its conduct.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough Epic portrays itself as a modern corporate Robin Hood, in reality it is a multi-billion dollar enterprise that simply wants to pay nothing for the tremendous value it derives from the App Store,\u201d Apple said in its filing.<\/p>\n

The Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple also asked for damages as a result of harm done to its reputation in the eyes of frustrated \u2018Fortnite\u2019 players and from the PR crusade Epic has undertaken against Apple, which included a parody of Apple\u2019s \u201c1984\u201d television commercial and a playable apple-headed character called \u201cTart Tycoon\u201d that bears some resemblance to Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook.<\/p>\n

Apple late last month terminated Epic\u2019s developer account, yanking all of the company\u2019s titles from its App Store.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Fortnite\u2019 clash is one of the highest-profile challenges yet to Apple\u2019s steep commissions on in-app purchases, which Epic has called \u201coppressive\u201d and anticompetitive. Several other tech firms have also blasted Apple\u2019s fees as the unfair result of its market dominance, including Facebook<\/a>, Spotify and Tinder owner Match Group.<\/p>\n
