The creator of Fortnite, Epic Games, has won a partial victory in the Australian federal court against Apple and Google over restrictions in app stores and failing to allow for competition for in-app payment options, but it could be a long time before any changes are made in Australia.
Fortnite was kicked off the Google and Apple app stores in 2020 after Epic Games offered its own in-app payment system that bypassed the one used by the platforms, and cut out the fees Apple and Google receive for in-app payments.
