Apple: Epic bad om særlig aftale for Fortnite

I en ny udtalelse hævder Apple, at Epic forud for dette faktisk havde henvendt, hvor de beder om “special treatment”.

Ifølge Apple Senior Vice President Phil Schiller: 

“On June 30, 2020, Epic’s CEO Tim Sweeney wrote my colleagues and me an email asking for a ‘side letter’ from Apple that would create a special deal for only Epic that would fundamentally change the way in which Epic offers apps on Apple’s iOS platform.”

Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney anmoder altså dermed om forskelsbehandling.

Du kan se en yderligere erklæring fra Apple nedenfor, som svar på tiltale.

“In the wake of its own voluntary actions, Epic now seeks emergency relief. But the “emergency” is entirely of Epic’s own making. Epic’s agreements with Apple expressly spell out that if an app developer violates the rules of the App Store or the license for development tools—both of which apply and are enforced equally to all developers large and small—Apple will stop working with that developer. Developers who work to deceive Apple, as Epic has done here, are terminated.”

Så hvis de oplysninger, som Apple har delt, er korrekte, bad Epic Games, Apple om en særlig aftale, da Apple nægtede, prøvede Epic at gå uden om Apple og tilbød en rabat på i app-køb, hvis du købte direkte fra Epic og ikke gennem spillet eller Apples app store.
