Epic Games Inc on Nov 10 won the dismissal of two Apple Inc’s tort claims in a dispute over access to its popular video game Fortnite on the iPhone maker’s App Store.

The battle between Apple and Epic focuses on a share of purchases in Fortnite. Epic launched a payment system that circumvented the Apple App Store, so the iPhone maker didn’t get a cut. Apple then stopped new users from downloading Fortnite on its platform, but existing copies of Fortnite can still use Epic’s system.
