Apple Says 'Fortnite' Maker Wanted 'side Letter' To Create Own Game Store

Apple Inc on Friday alleged that Epic Games’ chief executive had asked it for a “side letter” to create its own game store within the iPhone maker’s App Store, which Apple said would have upended the store’s commission-based business model.

Apple called the removal of “Fortnite” from the App Store earlier this month a “self-inflicted wound” that resulted from Epic knowingly violating Apple’s policies.
