The ongoing court case between Fortnite Developer Epic Games and technology giant Apple is heating up with the outcome of the case set to alter the future of digital distribution for in app purchases and game developers.

Today Apple lawyers made claims about “sexually explicit material” being available on the Epic Games store enquiring about the providers stance  on NOT selling games that are “offensive or sexualized” as stated by Epic Games Store VP Steve Allison, who went on to explain that “You cannot access those apps through the Epic Games Store,”

Last year Epic games snuck around Apple’s 30% developer deal for in app purchases within their popular video game Fortnite Mobile (The game was swiftly removed from the App store after the company was found to be using digital currency within the game known as Vbucks circumventing the agreement) – It was this action and the subsequent removal that has resulted in the court case.

The digital platform does however allow the download of the online app – ITCH.io which does host independent titles containing varying degrees of adult content. Several titles were said to be too explicit to mention in the courtroom.

Epic games continues to seek changes to the agreement Apple maintains on the sale of in game digital assets – And of course will be looking to undo the removal of their most downloaded title: Fortnite Mobile which has been off the App store since August last year.
