"Epic Games Takes Legal Action Against Apple's App Store Policies"

TL;DR Summary
Epic Games is asking a federal court to penalize Apple for allegedly violating an injunction by imposing a 27% commission on purchases made outside the App Store's in-app payment system and other restrictions on developers. Apple claims it is complying with the injunction, allowing developers to include external links and buttons directing users to alternative purchasing methods, but Epic argues that Apple's new policies render these options useless and continue to charge unjustified fees, aiming to prevent purchasing alternatives from constraining its fees.
