Fortnite Creator Is Launching a Rival for Apple and Google’s App Stores

(Bloomberg) — Epic Games Inc., maker of the monster hit Fortnite, announced a new online store this week that could eventually put pressure on Apple and Google to relinquish some control over their own app stores.

Epic’s new store will charge developers a commission of just 12 percent, less than half of what Apple Inc. and Alphabet Inc.’s app stores do.
