Epic Games has taken its battle with Apple to South Korea, where the company has sought to have its hit game Fortnite restored to the App Store under a world-first law in the country that loosens app payment restrictions.
The US developer of Fortnite, the popular battle royale-style online game, asked Apple to allow it back on to iPhones in South Korea to comply with the law that will allow users in the country to bypass Google and Apple’s app stores and pay developers directly.
In a tweet, the company asked Apple to restore its developer account, citing Seoul’s recent moves and stating that it would offer “both Epic payment and Apple payment side-by-side”.
