Epic direct payment on mobile

If Apple removes Fortnite from the app store, it'll become a class action lawsuit in my opinion. Kids have spent hundreds, maybe thousands, of dollars on vbucks on their phones. If you just take that away..... you owe some people some money.

I don't play Fornite. Can you access your same character/account on other platforms? (can you switch to PC or PS4)?

If it’s deleted from the App Store it will still be on their phones.

Either way I don’t think there’s a legal precedent for a class action

But you won’t be able to update any more (unless that is via side-channel? I don’t know how mobile games work), which, for a multiplayer game, is as good as deleting it.
