SAN FRANCISCO: Epic Games said on Wednesday it will not remove a direct payment feature it enabled on Apple Inc devices recently, a move that would mean iPhone users will not receive the latest version of the popular video game 'Fortnite'.

A legal battle ensued after Epic rolled out its own method of in-game purchases for"Fortnite" on Apple's App Store earlier this month, rather than using the required system of the iphone maker that charges commission of between 15 per cent and 30 per cent.Apple responded by removing Epic's"Fortnite" game from its App Store and an affiliated account, effectively blocking distribution of Unreal Engine, a software tool that is relied upon by hundreds of other app makers.
