Last month, after a long and protracted legal battle, Apple restored Fortnite to the US app store. Fortnite had been removed in late 2020 after launching its own in-app payment system that bypassed the App Store's payment system (and the 30% commission), a violation of Apple's terms, and Epic took Apple to court.
Epic's argument was essentially that Apple operates the App Store as a monopoly, and characterised this as a fight about consumer and developer rights. The courts agreed and Apple now has to allow apps to point users to their own payment systems (which it doesn't get any cut from), and after initially dragging its feet the courts forced it into compliance.
