(Reuters) – Epic Games, the creator of the popular video game “Fortnite”, said on Friday it acquired UK-based SuperAwesome, a platform for developers to include kid-safety tools in their products.
Microsoft Corp’s corporate venture fund, M12, had also invested https://www.superawesome.com/blog/announcing-our-investment-from-m12-microsofts-venture-fund in SuperAwesome, in a funding round earlier this year.
Epic has been locked in a legal battle with Apple Inc since mid-August over the removal of “Fortnite”, which has attracted more than 350 million players globally, after launching its own in-app payment system, which was in violation of the iPhone maker’s app store guidelines.
