> Following a court order that blocks Apple from taking a commission on purchases made outside the App Store, Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney says on X that the company plans to bring Fortnite back to iOS in the US “next week.”
>The app hasn’t been available on iOS in the US since August 2020, when Apple kicked it off the App Store for implementing Epic’s own in-app payment system in violation of Apple’s rules. Since then, Apple and Epic have been embroiled in an ongoing legal battle, including a ruling more in Apple’s favor in 2021 and today’s ruling that is a major victory for Epic.
Next week is really fast isn’t it. How can they have the iOS version ready to go so quickly? There have been numerous changes to the game since the last time it was on the App Store.
lol what incentive does apple have to let fortnite back onto its platform after this?
Oh wow!
Apple will buy Epic games on Friday.
How about steam?
TIL Fortnite is still a thing.
Can they bring back Infinity Blade
“Agree to not make any money and I’ll let you cover the bandwidth costs to host the downloads” doesn’t really seem like a peace offering.
Every imbecile cheering for this is just cheering for yet another mega-corp game company to rip them off on another platform for skins to a poorly-done rehash of PUBG.
‘Says on x’
You can just say bigot
Ummmm dude’s getting ahead of himself. Apple can still keep it off the App Store out of spite if they want to.
macOS version too?
The peace offering will be the part of the accumulated data gathered from millions of children
Sorry, commenting to increase my karma. I’m not a bot, but I want to contribute now when I haven’t before. Why is a subreddit as generic as “gaming” this exclusive?
