After Apple accuses Epic Games of using its lawsuit to revitalize interest in Fortnite, the developer claims Apple "cherry picked" Google search results when it came to the game's popularity. Epic refutes Apple's claims that there's declining interest in Fortnite. It cites its user engagement data, saying "Over the period of time that Apple cherry-picked for its Google search volume comparison (between October 2019 and July 2020), the number of daily active users on Fortnite actually increased by more than 39%."
Apple hasn't responded yet to Epic's latest filing. A full court hearing is scheduled for September 28.
