Fortnite returns to the iOS app store in the US
The endless continues snake in which Epic Games and Apple have been engaged. What began as a breach of Apple’s terms by Epic Games by integrating payments in Fortnite through its own platform, soon climbed at the judicial level by considering the latter that the rates imposed by the apple company were not fair.
Justice imposed a fine on Epic Games of 12 million dollars to skip the thermals of Epic Games, but it continued to demand the apple company.
Recently, a sentence prohibited Apple to collect commissions for payments that would be made in iOS applications through third -party platforms, a victory for Epic Games that sought to be able to collect all the micropagos that ravage games like Fortnite.
That sentence was interpreted by Epic Games as a victory that would make his star game return to the iPhone around the world, and not only Europeans through their own Epic Games Store. However, Apple did not accept the request to publish Fortnite in its app store and, in a controversial pressure measure, Epic Games also retired Fortnite from his store in Europe, blaming Apple also of that movement.
Now, Epic Games has returned to courts to urge Apple to accept the publication of his game in his own application store, and after a notice of the judge that instructs the case, now those of Cupertino seem to be that They already have it accepted in your app storebut Only in the United States.
In the European Union, Apple was forced to admit third -party apps stores, and the Fortnite can only be downloaded from the Epic Games store itself, except when the developer removes it as a pressure measure.
