Epic Games and Apple continue their never-ending battle

The eternal battle between Epic Games and Apple continues. The former is accusing the latter of manufacturing a “pause” in the legal proceedings over its proposed new App Store commission rates, and Apple disagrees.

The eternal battle between Epic Games and Apple continues. The former is accusing the latter of manufacturing a “pause” in the legal proceedings over its proposed new App Store commission rates, and Apple disagrees, reports 9to5Mac.

In a joint status update, Epic says that “[n]early two months after its production deadline, Apple has scarcely produced any documents,” adding that “Apple’s […] continued unwillingness to commit to a date certain by which it will complete its production demonstrates that Court intervention is essential.”

Apple disputes those accusations, arguing that it had already fulfilled its initial obligation to produce documents explaining how it arrived at the proposed rates, notes 9to5Mac. The company also blames Epic for the delays, saying the Fortnite maker took weeks to submit additional document requests, and subsequently demanded extensive searches involving 27 individuals. 

This legal brouhaha between the two companies has been ongoing for years. You can read all about it here.
