The Epic vs. Apple trial came to a conclusion last Friday with both parties winning several of their own claims, but Epic Games isn't too happy with the outcome, seeking to appeal.

From December 9, Apple is allowed to control the payment system of its platform while developers must not be blocked in utilizing third-party payment methods within the apps themselves. The court - more specifically, Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers - also ruled that Apple is not monopolistic, something that has no doubt fuelled the intent to appeal.

Epic founder and CEO Tim Sweeney responded to Apple's own response, "Today's ruling isn't a win for developers or for consumers. Epic is fighting for fair competition among in-app payment methods and app stores for a billion consumers.

"Fortnite will return to the iOS App Store when and where Epic can offer in-app payment in fair competition with Apple in-app payment, passing along the savings to consumers.

"Thanks to everyone who put so much time and effort into the battle over fair competition on digital platforms, and thanks especially to the court for managing a very complex case on a speedy timeline. We will fight on."

The ruling indicates that Apple was fully within its rights to remove Fortnite from the App Store which is what initially sparked the court case. Epic Games also has to pay 30 percent for any purchases prior to its removal.

However, while there are no clear winners, Epic has dealt Apple a hefty blow. Over 70% of the App Store's revenue comes from gaming, and developers are now allowed to use their own third-party payment systems within the apps as opposed to redirecting to the App Store. This could see the company lose out on some of that revenue, while it has also seen a three percent fall in share price.
