Maker of Fortnite says in lawsuit that by controlling in-app purchases, the tech companies are restricting competition and innovation
When Apple’s first iPhone launched in 2007, all its apps were made by Apple.
Steve Jobs was reluctant to allow the apps of third-party developers on the iPhone, according to his biography by Walter Isaacson. He ultimately caved to pressure with the launch of the App Store in 2008. But the company wanted strict control over what was allowed on the platform, an email released in 2021 revealed .

Tech giant takes a step back from years-long feud with game maker after pressure from European regulators
Under pressure from European regulators, Apple took a step back in its feud with Epic Games on Friday, clearing the way for Epic to put Fortnite and its own game store on iPhones and iPads in Europe.
Earlier this week, Apple had taken steps to block Epic from starting up a store and bringing back the popular game, which Apple removed from its App Store in 2020 after Epic broke the iPhone maker’s in-app payment rules in protest.

Last month, Epic announced that Apple had approved an iOS developer account for Epic Games Sweden, thus securing a path for Fortnite to return to the iOS App Store for the first time since 2020 (in Europe, at least). But Apple has now terminated that Swedish developer account in a move Epic says is a "serious violation of the DMA [that] shows Apple has no intention of allowing true competition on iOS devices."
Epic is referring there to the Digital Markets Act , the European regulation that has forced Apple to officially allow sideloaded apps on European iOS devices for the first time. Since Apple announced its DMA compliance plans in January, though, many third-party developers have loudly complained about the stringent terms Apple is imposing on companies that want to establish alternative App Stores on iOS devices. Epic Games was among those public complainants, with CEO Tim Sweeney publicly calling Apple's policies "a devious new instance of Malicious Compliance" full of "hot garbage."
Epic said Apple denied its request for a DMA consultation that could have helped streamline its plans to return to iOS. Despite this, in February, Epic signaled a willingness to jump through Apple's hoops, using a newly approved developer account for Epic Games Sweden AB as a way to "start developing the Epic Games Store on iOS soon" ahead of a planned 2024 launch.

Willy’s Chocolate Experience is a challenger for the worst immersive off-brand experience of all time. But Fortnite Live Norwich and Santas Winter Village were the pioneers
If we get to the end of 2024 with a better news story than Willy’s Chocolate Experience in Glasgow , I will be absolutely staggered.
It’s the perfect story. You’ve got high expectations versus miserable reality. You’ve got an organiser who – if his reams and reams of apparently AI-generated self-published books are any indication – has a samurai-level expertise when it comes to parting people from their money. You’ve got the fact that he runs a company called House of Illuminati. You’ve got police involvement. You’ve got peripheral figures going viral on TikTok. Best of all, you’ve got a website so lazily constructed that it promises nonsense including “catgacating” and “exarserdray lollipops”. It’s perfect. It’s perfect . It might be the greatest thing ever to bear Willy Wonka’s name.
