Earlier today Epic Games announced a set of changes coming to their megapopular Battle Royale title Fortnite, which includes a permanent 20% price cut for V-Bucks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This change also applies to mobile players, but in order to get this discount, they need to select the new “Epic direct purchase” option, which bypasses Apple’s and Google’s App Stores, and their 30% fee.<\/p>\n

And while Google is still being silent about this, Apple reacted briskly and removed Fortnite from their store<\/a>, because Epic “enabled a feature in its app which was not reviewed or approved by Apple.”<\/p>\n

It seems that Epic planned all this to happen in advance, as they premiered tonight a new short in Fortnite Party Royale, called Nineteen Eighty-Fortnite.<\/p>\n
