「Fortnite」遭苹果、Google下架 开发商入禀控苹果违反垄断法
苹果将腾讯(00700.HK)持股的游戏《Fortnite》(要塞英雄)自App Store下架,指游戏违反规则容许用户在苹果支付系统外「课金」,而开发商Epic Games就游戏下架入禀控告苹果,指苹果违反美国的反垄断法,并指公司的霸权阻碍竞争,并准备了约60页的法律文件。公司同时亦发布了一段参考苹果经典「1984」广告的短片,并将苹果打造成里面的坏人。
Epic Games在声明中指,苹果将《Fortnite》下架反映了公司有巨大权力采取极不合理、不合法的限制,以维持公司在iOS应用支付处理方面百分百的市占率,公司已寻求禁制令,阻止苹果的反竞争行为。
同时,Google亦宣布将游戏自Google Play Store下架,但用户仍可自其他地方下载游戏至安卓装置,Google发表的声明指,安卓的开源式生态系统,令开发商可透过不同的应用程式商店将App上架,虽然《Fortnite》仍可在安卓内使用,使由於其做法违反了Play Store的规则,故要将其下架。
