Epic Games Files Motion for Preliminary Injunction Against Apple

Epic Games has filed a motion for preliminary injunction against Apple which if granted would return Fortnite to the App Store.

---
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE THAT on September 28, 2020, at 9:30 a.m., in the United
States District Court for the Northern District of California, before the Honorable Yvonne
Gonzalez Rogers, Plaintiff Epic Games, Inc. (“Epic”) will move this Court pursuant to Federal
Rule of Civil Procedure 65 for a Preliminary Injunction: (1) restraining Defendant Apple Inc.
(“Apple”) from removing, de-listing, refusing to list or otherwise making unavailable the app
Fortnite or any other app on Epic’s Team ID ’84 account in Apple’s Developer Program,
including any update of such an app, from the App Store on the basis that Fortnite offers in-app
payment processing through means other than Apple’s In-App Purchase (“IAP”) or on any
pretextual basis; (2) restraining Apple from taking any adverse action against Epic, including but
not limited to restricting, suspending, or terminating any other Apple Developer Program
account of Epic or its affiliates, on the basis that Epic enabled in-app payment processing in
Fortnite through means other than IAP or on the basis of the steps Epic took to do so;
(3) restraining Apple from removing, disabling, or modifying Fortnite or any code, script,
feature, setting, certification, version or update thereof on any iOS user’s device; and
(4) requiring Apple to restore Epic’s Team ID ’84 account in Apple’s Developer Program.

Epic asks the court to grant the motion on the grounds that it will likely succeed in proving Apple's conduct violates the Sherman Act and based on its likelihood of suffering irreparable harm due to Apple's removal of Fortnite from the App Store.

Apple Hires Former Disney, Hulu, and Quibi Executive for Apple TV

Apple has hired Tim Connolly, a Hollywood executive with experience at Disney, Hulu, and Quibi, for Apple TV, according to The Telegraph.

Connolly was vice-president of digital distribution and new product development at Disney. He was one of the most senior executives at streaming startup Quibi, running partnerships and advertising, but he vacated the role before the video service launched earlier this year. Connolly also helped to launch Hulu's live TV service, which involved striking deals with other major networks. Similarly, he oversaw a deal between Spotify and Hulu to bundle their services.

Connolly's exact role at Apple is as yet unknown, but it seems likely that he will be involved in brokering deals for ‌Apple TV‌'s Channels feature. The ‌Apple TV‌ app allows users to buy and watch third-party streaming services directly within the app, but support has been limited thus far. Apple began selling subscriptions to combined services last month, with a bundle including CBS All Access and Showtime, for an overall lower price of $9.99. This move and the hiring of Connolly may indicate that Apple is planning to launch more similar bundles and bolster ‌Apple TV‌ Channels.

Given Connolly's experience in bundling services, it is also possible that he is involved in launching Apple's upcoming "Apple One" subscription service bundles. The series of bundles would allow customers to subscribe to several Apple digital services, such as Apple Music and ‌Apple TV‌+, together. This is expected to result in a lower monthly price than when the services are subscribed to individually.

Apple did not respond to The Telegraph's request for comment. Connolly's arrival at Apple is yet another indication that the company is heavily investing in its TV and subscription service enterprises.
