Epic to host a #FreeFortnite tournament with anti-Apple prizes
Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Fortnite-maker Epic Games and Apple are currently embroiled in a public battle over Apple's App Store policies, and in the latest move in the dispute, Epic has announced a Fortnite tournament taking place August 23rd where players can compete to win anti-Apple prizes.
Last week, Epic added a new direct payment system to Fortnite in violation of Apple's policies. Apple removed Fortnite from the App Store the same day, and shortly after, Epic launched a campaign against Apple by suing the company, releasing a Nineteen Eighty-Fortnite" video mocking Apple's famous 1984" ad, and promoting the hashtag #FreeFortnite.
All of your friends. Fabulous prizes. And one bad apple. We're droppin the #FreeFortnite Cup on August 23.
