Popular online game Fortnite has been banned from Google Play and the App Store

The American company Epic Games, which is the developer of the popular online game Fortnite, decided to avoid

For example, the company's initiative implies that users will buy V-bucks virtual money used in the title not through payments from app stores, but through direct payments.

This innovation has reduced the cost of in-game currency, since thanks to direct payments, users do not spend money on Google and Apple fees.It is worth noting that the size of the commission in the same App Store reachesAt the same time, if you buy 1000 V-bucks on Google Play, you need to pay $10, while you can pay $8 with Epic direct payment.

The initiative, of course, did not pleaseApple and Google representatives. So, soon the companies blocked the popular title in their app stores, explaining that the game violates the general rules applicable to all developers, and which are designed to ensure the safety of app stores for users. Epic Games, in turn, does not agree with this outcome and has already sent a corresponding complaint to Apple.
