Epic Asks Judge to Hold Apple in Contempt for Breaking Order
- Apple was told to include links to outside payment options
- The iPhone maker’s approach is ‘unusable,’ Epic Games says
Epic Games Inc. asked a federal judge to hold Apple Inc. in contempt of court over its failure to properly comply with a court order to open its App Store to outside payment options.
Apple agreed this year to let all third-party apps sold in the US include an outside link to a developer website to process payments for in-app purchases. That followed the US Supreme Court’s refusal in January to wade into a three-year feud between the maker of the popular Fortnite game and the technology giant.
