  • Epic Games is behind a new piece of legislation in North Dakota that would force Apple to allow developers to implement their own in-app payment system.
  • Epic Games is currently in a bitter legal dispute over Apple's 30% commission on in-app transactions.
  • Apple kicked Epic Games' popular Fortnite title off the App Store last year.

Seemingly out of nowhere, North Dakota Senator Kyle Davison a few days ago introduced a bill in the state senate that would effectively upend the way companies like Apple and Google run their respective app stores. Per the legislation, Apple would no longer be able to preclude developers from using their own payment schemes for in-app transactions.

"The purpose of the bill is to level the playing field for app developers in North Dakota and protect customers from devastating, monopolistic fees imposed by big tech companies," Davison said during a press conference last week.
