Epic Games has been removed from Apple’s App Store. If you’ve already downloaded Fortnite to your Mac or iOS device, it should still work, but Epic’s termination means the Fortnite developer will no longer be able to submit new apps or updates. MacStories Managing Editor John Voorhees noted the termination on Twitter, as well as the fact that the App Store is currently featuring Fortnite competitor PUBG. Apple confirmed the move in a statement:
Apple also said that Epic has been creating support issues by directing frustrated users toward AppleCare. This is the latest development in the Epic-Apple dispute, which began earlier this month when the developer introduced support for direct payments in Fortnite, attempting to circumvent the 30% cut that Apple takes on App Store payments. This prompted Apple to boot Fortnite from the App Store, with Epic immediately launching a lawsuit and a publicity campaign that accused Apple of abusing its market power. Earlier this week, a federal district court judge ordered Apple not to block access to Epic’s Unreal Engine for developers, but she said that Fortnite could stay out of the App Store until it complied with the rules. Today’s removal should not affect the Unreal Engine, which Epic manages through a separate account. from RSSMix.com Mix ID 8176981 https://techcrunch.com/2020/08/28/apple-terminates-epic-games/ http://www.gadgetscompared.com https://ikonografico.tumblr.com/post/627747490599485440 via http://www.gadgetscompared.com
