Fortnite seemingly claps back at Apple\u2019s $73 million lawsuit in savage fashion Epic Games\/AppleFortnite has now fired shots at Apple in a savage fashion after they demanded $73 million from the lawsuit. Here\u2019s how they did that. The monumental battle between Apple and Epic Games has taken place in more than one jurisdiction, with the Fortnite developers suing Apple in EU, US, and Australian courts. Whether Apple\u2019s dominance of the App Store constitutes anticompetitive conduct and whether third-party software distribution mechanisms ought to be permitted on iOS devices were the central questions in the antitrust lawsuits. According to recent revelations made by Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney, the US Supreme Court rejected the appeals of both parties, resulting in Epic\u2019s defeat in the case. As a component of their legal damages, Apple has now requested that the court force Epic to pay $73 million. Consequently, Epic retaliated in Fortnite\u2019s most brutal fashion to their demand, and the players are absolutely loving the brawl. Here\u2019s what Fortnite did and how players reacted. Fortnite sends out savage message to Apple\u2019s demands via emotes On January 18, 2024, Epic released two emotes in the Fortnite Item Shop that are said to be a direct jab at Apple for their demand of $73 million in legal damages. The emotes in question here are Bring It On (inspired by WWE Superstar The Rock\u2019s signature pose) and Make it Rain (where the player rains stacks of money) which were released in the shop for players to purchase. Now players are going wild over this subtle jab by Epic and are commenting on the situation on social media. One such player said, \u201cThat\u2019s actually hilarious lmfao.\u201d Another chimed in, \u201cFlex on em. Absolutely love this move by Epic.\u201d A third user added, \u201cImagine doing a Fortnite emote against a lawsuit.\u201d A fourth made an absurd request, \u201cIs it possible for Travis Scott to return to the Item Shop to recover the money it lost against Apple?\u201d While the legal battle is still not done from Epic\u2019s end, the new EU regulations for Apple raise the opportunity for Fortnite to be available once again on iOS devices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
