The combat between Epic Games and Apple enters its third round of round limit. Just a few days ago we met that the United States forces Apple to accept external payments in iOS applications, available through its App Store . A resolution that arrived days after South Korea introduced new laws around digital mobile stores, forcing Apple and Google to accept such external payments in your country. And it also prevents them from expelling applications from the store without just cause, as would be the case with Fortnite.
While that seemed to indicate that Fortnite would return to the IOS store, at least in Korea for now, Apple refuses to give up in the least. As Reuters informs, the Cupertino giant has denied The request of Epic Games to restore its developer account in iOS, formulated last Thursday. As you know, it is mandatory to have a developer account to publish content in the iOS App Store, and thus access Apple's mobile ecosystem.
At this time, there is no legitimate basis to restore your Apple account in August of last year, Apple withdrew the Epic Games account in iOS and Macos, although justice protected the access of Unreal Engine in both. This prevents Tim Sweeney's company to publish its games on Apple's platforms, which is why re-apply for it for the new legislation. After rejecting the petition, an Apple representative explains the following: As we have said all this time, We are open to the return of EPIC to the App Store If you agree to comply with the same standards that everyone .
EPIC has acknowledged having broken its contract [with Apple] and, at this time, there is no legitimate basis to restore your developer account. While the new South Korea legislation, which will take effect on 15, legitimites those acts by which EPIC has lost its IOS license, the law itself does not force Apple to restore developer accounts They have been previously revoked to their implementation.
Your refusal is vengeful and absurd Tim Sweeney, Epic Games On the other hand, Tim Sweeney has called Apple of Avenga for denying the request of him, and with it the return of Fortnite to iOS. As Apple's attempts to retaliate against all users of Unreal Engine, his refusal to restore the Epic developer account in Fortnite is VEGATIVE AND ABSURDA . We are fighting Apple for its rules in iOS, but this Rejection blocks fortnite also on the Mac . Mac is a highly safe open platform, as iOS should be.
MAC users are free to install Software from third-party sources , such as Steam or Epic Games Store, as iOS users should power. That Apple keeps Mac users as hostages for a dispute in iOS is petty and ridiculous . It is seen that the bell is far from sounding in the Epic fight against Apple, and it does not seem that Fortnite will soon return to iOS. The free Battle Royale has just started today its season 8 with new content and slaughter's Skin.
