What 'statements' are we talking about here? All Apple cites is a quote they fabricated, claiming I said Epic 'ouldn’t trade away to get Fortnite back on iOS. The only change since September 10, when Apple last offered to welcome Fortnite back, is that Epic appealed the decision and made 'statements'. Why did Apple break its promise to allow Fortnite back under its rules? Apple cites three reasons: 1) they won, 2) Epic 'statements since the court’s decision', and 3) the way we launched direct payments in 2020.Īpple always claimed they expected to win, and Apple has known about Epic’s payment system since 2020. The loss of Fortnite as an iOS metaverse competitor alongside Roblox and PUBG Mobile has significant implications for the evolution of the new medium of our era.

Unfortunately, most of these require players to have a jailbroken device and some even. It’s also a loss for fair competition and consumer choice. Several third-party software/websites offer Fortnite on Mobile iOS devices as a workaround for the App Store. This is another extraordinary anticompetitive move by Apple, demonstrating their power to reshape markets and choose winners and losers.
