The blockbuster legal clash between Apple and Fortnite developer Epic Games over App Store pie-slicing continues to wreak havoc on the world of tech, producing all sorts of ripple effects. As predicted by a new report from Bloomberg, Google has clarified its approach to its own Google Play Store. Specifically, it's making it clearer to developers that apps on Google Play must use Google's billing system for in-app purchases. That would allow for the company to ensure it receives an Apple-esque 30% cut on in-app purchases.The Play Store billing system has existed for years, but Google has historically been quite lenient about forcing apps to use it, allowing them to use their own billing services to avoid the levy. Unlike Apple, however, Google may be able to avoid charges of monopolistic practices, since the Android platform has more sources for apps than just the Play Store--even if the Play Store is the most well-known example. The company also said that it will make it easier to install and use third-party app stores in next year's Android 12. Specifics on how it will do so were not shared.Google says almost 97% of apps already use Google Play's billing, so it's a relative minority that will be forced to now comply. Google will give app developers a year-long grace period to comply with the new policy or move out of the Google Play Store, with the deadline set as September 30, 2021.

With Marvel characters often crossing over into Fortnite and the Marvel's Avengers beta doling out Fortnite weapons, it was only a matter of time before official Fortnite x Marvel merch arrived. A collection of T-shirts, long-sleeve shirts, and hoodies featuring a mashup of Marvel heroes and Fortnite imagery are now available to purchase at Amazon.The officially licensed apparel all shares a similar design aesthetic. Regardless of whether you get a T-shirt, long-sleeve, or hoodie, you'll get a clothing item with a rectangular graphic across the chest. While the overall design of the products isn't exactly inventive--especially since only black, white, and heather gray colors are available--the graphic prints themselves are pretty cool.The apparel leans heavily on Marvel, often with Fortnite details in the backdrop of the main image. For instance, the Iron Man design features Tony Stark in the center ring and smaller images scattered about the outer rings, including the Battle Bus and Loot Llama.

The Thor design is based off of his look in Fortnite.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

TikTok was scheduled to be banned from app stores on September 27, but a federal judge issued a last-minute ruling that blocked the US government order. TikTok, for now, remains available in US app stores.Earlier this year, the Trump administration ordered TikTok and WeChat to be removed from app stores starting September 20. However, TikTok's deadline was then moved to September 27 after Trump gave his preliminary approval on ByteDance's transition into a new company called TikTok Global, with Walmart and Oracle owning 20% of the company.ByteDance then filed for a preliminary injunction on September 23, seeking to prevent TikTok's imminent removal from app stores. In the motion, the tech company argued that the ban infringed upon its Fifth Amendment right to due process and First Amendment right to free speech. On September 27, a mere few hours before the government order went into effect, Judge Carl Nichols of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia granted TikTok's preliminary injunction.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The ongoing legal tensions between Apple and Epic had a day in virtual court. The current situation hasn't changed in any notable ways yet--Apple's ban on Fortnite will continue for the time being--but it was overall a difficult day for Epic and set the stage for the case to be heard next July.CNET reports that California Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers upheld the ban and said the companies will hear from her in writing. She recommended a trial by jury, but that next step will be up to Apple or Epic to request. She noted that her courtroom is "just a stepping stone" toward the likely inevitability of a jury trial.Rogers took a harsh tone with Epic, saying that it had circumvented Apple's policy despite its contractual obligations. At different points she said Epic was "not forthright" and even that it had "lied" by issuing an update when it knew Apple's contract prevented it from doing so, according to CNN tech reporter Brian Fung. She also said it wasn't forthcoming and referred to its overall demeanor as a "security issue." Fung characterized the judge as generally skeptical of Epic's claims.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Since its inception in January 2019, All Elite Wrestling has become a dominant force in professional wrestling. Between successful PPVs and a weekly TV series on TNT, AEW has a foothold in the industry, and more is on the way. Aside from the recently released Jazwares action figures, an AEW video game is in the works.While the prospect of an AEW video game has never been a secret, one of the promotion's executive vice presidents, Kenny Omega has some new information about it. "The status of the video game is that it is currently in development," Omega told GameSpot. "I can't say too much more other than I am working very closely creatively with a team. And every few weeks, they have very exciting new things to show us. And I believe that we're on the right track because I think we have a good team backing us with a lot of very, very good hands that are very capable. And when I can more, I certainly will. And I'm really excited to show the first little bit of footage that we have."So it's a little ways away. We're not going to be competing head to head against WWE Battlegrounds anytime soon. But when the game is ready, and when it will release, I think it has a very good chance of standing alone is probably the best wrestling product as a video game that you could probably find on the market. That's the hope anyway."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

UK magazine Empire's new September issue is a tribute dedicated to Boseman, and an interview with Sienna Miller (G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, Foxcatcher), Bosewick's co-star in the 2019 action-thriller 21 Bridges, is bursting with anecdotes about his efforts to boost her presence and salary for last year's movie."He produced 21 Bridges, and had been really active in trying to get me to do it," Miller said. "He was a fan of my work, which was thrilling, because it was reciprocated from me to him, tenfold. So he approached me to do it, he offered me this film, and it was at a time whenI really didn't want to work anymore. I'd been working non-stop and I was exhausted, but then I wanted to work with him."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

According to a report, Kassandra was originally supposed to be the only playable character in the game.AC Sisterhood is an offshoot of The Mentor's Guild and according to a statement written by group member Kulpreet Virdi, was formed in order to "highlight, appreciate and support the women (including those who identify as women) in the Assassin's Creed Universe, the community and development teams, creating a safe space for women" and to "help to push for meaningful change by way of better representation for women in Assassin’s Creed games and for better treatment of women within the company."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
