Apple demanded that Epic revert Fortnite to exclusively use Apple payments. Their proposal was an invitation for Epic to collude with Apple to maintain its monopoly over in-app payments on iOS, suppressing free market competition and inflating prices. As a matter of principle, we refused to do so.
You, as a mobile device owner, have the right to install apps from sources of your choosing. Software makers have the right to freely express their ideas and to compete in a fair marketplace. Apple’s policies take these freedoms away.

Source URL (epicgames.com freefortnite-australia page) returns HTTP 403 from WebFetch. Web search confirms the page exists with the quoted text: Epic stated 'As a matter of principle, we refused to do so' regarding Apple's demand to revert Fortnite to exclusive Apple payments, framing Apple's policies as suppressing competition and removing freedoms from device owners and software makers. Vote (For 'Grant developers the right to interoperate with large platforms without permission') aligns squarely with Epic's #FreeFortnite stance. Marking ai_unverifiable per protocol because I cannot directly fetch the source.
