Epic Games has been at war with Apple and Google for over a year now.
Last August, the Fortnite developer enabled a feature in the game that would allow players to buy the premium currency, V-Bucks, directly from Epic. This allowed Epic to skirt Apple's commission fee that it takes from all in-app purchases. Apple promptly removed Fortnite from the App Store in response, and as 2021 comes to a close, the game is still unavailable on iOS.
Following the game's removal, Epic Games filed a lawsuit against Apple challenging its restrictions on alternative options for customers to complete in-app purchases.
Apple won on nine of ten counts, but the court did rule that Apple would have to allow developers to inform users about other payment options within their apps. For Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney, this wasn't nearly enough, and he continues to make that clear every chance he gets.
