Fortnite's beef with Apple and Google, explained
https://ftw.usatoday.com/2020/08/fortnite-apple-google-lawsuit-app-store
Apple has removed Fortnite from the App Store after Epic Games has added its own payment options. Why did they make their own way to pay? Because, apple takes 30% off on all purchases made thorugh apple. They did not want to have to give 30% off, so they made their own purchase method. Apple got mad and removed it.
Wait a minute, WHY did they remove it?
So on Fortnite, there are these things called V-Bucks. Think of them
as virtual tokens you can use to purchase new “skins” and collectables
on the game.
To actually get V-Bucks, though, you pay real life cash. Generally
speaking, to this point, about 1,000 V-Bucks cost $9.99 in real life
when purchased through the Apple Store or the Google Play store. Until
now, those have been the only mediums to purchase them through on mobile
platforms.
Until now, anyway. And here’s where things get tricky and the beef starts brewing.
Epic Games changed that. They created an in-game direct payment
system that charged $7.99 for those same 1,000 V-Bucks instead of $9.99.
So they’re saving gamers a couple of dollars?
Yup, exactly. Instead of having them pay for the V-Bucks through
Apple’s and Google’s systems, they give them a better deal in doing it
through their own.
Wow. Epic outright promoting direct in-app payment around iOS store but in iOS apps
And users collect 100% of the savings. No monetary benefit to Epic.
Why would they be shut down for that?
Well, it’s a problem for Apple and Google as the hosting platforms.
Epic is not just bypassing Apple's in-app payment (i.e. iOS rules), it's telling users to do so to save money
Epic is effectively daring Apple to shut down the Fortnite iOS app – and anger millions of users.
(Apple's prior verbiage suggests app would be pulled for "safety")

In exchange for hosting Fortnite on the App Store on the Google Play
Store, the platforms review the app for users and charge a 30%
commission on in-app purchases.
Epic Game’s in-game store circumvents that 30% commission, which
Apple and Google say is a violation of the original agreement. So,
therefore, they’ve removed the game.
So as long as this in-app store exists we won’t see Fortnite on our phones?
If you don’t already have it, no. At least not for iPhones anyway.
Fortnite is still available through other app stores on Android systems.
Tough luck, iPhone crowd.
Don’t worry. Epic Games isn’t sitting still, though. They’re suing both google
and apple for the removal of the game from their platforms. And, the thing is, they clearly expected this to happen.
What do you mean?
Epic Games broke out those lawsuits against both companies shortly
after Fortnite was removed from both Google Play and the App Store. They
counted on each company taking the actions they did.
And, as a public response, they dropped a Fortnite-style commercial you might recognize.
This is a clear shot at Apple’s famous Super Bowl commercial set in an Orewllian “1984” dystopia from back in the day.
That’s feels mad dramatic here, but whatever. You get the point
What’s their purpose in all of this?
That’s the thing — it’s hard to really say. They’re calling the
current system they’re working in a “monopoly,” and they’ll battle it
out in court to try and prove it.
But, honestly, it just seems like they’re trying to skip over paying
the commission fee to their current distributors in Apple and Google
which…fine.
But they’ve turned this into a public relations battle and it’s hard to tell how much ground they actually have to stand on.

Will Fortnite Mobile ever return to App stores? AND HOW TO PLAY IT
Fortnite has been unavailable on the Google Play Store and the App Store. especially the App Store. If you do not know how it got removed, here is some information. Fortnite has been removed from the App Store due to Epic Games breaking the policy of the App Store. What they did is that they were trying to “skirt” Apple's 30% commission on in-app purchases. Just to make this easier to understand they took 30% of the money they were supposed to give to Apple from the in-game purchases. The reason why Fortnite got removed from the Play Store is that I guess they didn’t want to be involved in the situation with Apple and Epic. It was a whole mess and everything went downhill after that.

Will Fortnite Come Back to Google Play and Apple Store???
Hello guys. This is a post of if Fortnite will come back to Google Play and Apple Store. I'm trying to make you understand more like superbaconwithmemes's post.
According to Google, it said it has been violates the antitrust laws and app store policies. So it has been removed. Resulting as sueing the tech giants. Epic Games called the companies monopolistic, particularly Apple, and even released a video parodying Apple's iconic 1984 video. Fortnite is still available for Android users, the game can be downloaded from the Epic Games' app or through the Samsung Galaxy Store on Samsung devices, for Apple users there is no such option. Google has mentioned that they are open to discussions with Epic Games to bring Fortnite back on the Play Store, Apple has not said anything yet.
