Apple blocks Fortnite’s return to the App Store, Epic Games CEO points out obvious clones

Epic: "Apple has blocked our Fortnite submission so we cannot release to the US App Store or to the Epic Games Store for iOS in the European Union. Now, sadly, Fortnite on iOS will be offline worldwide until Apple unblocks it."

Judge already gave them the win.

They did win in court, but so far the result is the same. It will be interesting to see if anything changes.

Isn't that contempt? As I type this as a potential juror

To note, they technically ended up right where they were before. No one won in this. Just a ton of money wasted to end up right back where both companies were before.

Lmao 😂 Fortnite tried to bully apple out of its own existing policies so they themselves could make more money off apple users - then they threatened to pull Fortnite from apple. then apple said “we’re the most valuable company in the world, we’ll do it for you”.

Epic f**ked around and then found out. Lmfao.

"so they themselves could make more money off apple users"

That's not even true. Epic was allowing in-game purchase of V-Bucks for 30% cheaper by removing the portion that would have been Apple's cut. Epic was still making the same amount of money, not more, but they were trying to let users save money.

It's so wild that people fawn on Apple for behavior they would lambast any other company for. Just shows how good Apple's marketing is that people will change their views in any direction to support them. It wasn't so many years ago people were attacking Sony over much milder actions related to Fortnite monetization.

Poor little Epic playing the victim card. I mean if any small company tried to do what they did, they'd be permanently blacklisted from app stores.
