Final goodbye to Fortnite and Epic Games
The outcome between Apple and Epic Games hasn't been long in coming. A few days ago, Epic Games broke the rules of the App Store by introducing a third-party payment method in their most popular game, Fortnite Given this, Apple and Google removed the game from their app stores and Apple went further announcing the cancellation of the Epic developer account on August 28.
And said and done. Yesterday, as Apple announced, the Epic Games developer account was closed. This fact means that all Epic Games apps and games have disappeared from the App Store.
All Epic Games games and apps cannot be downloaded and no longer work on devices
And not only that, but they can no longer be used on devices that already had them downloaded, or download them for those who had previously downloaded them That is, all apps and Epic games have been rendered unusable on devices that had them.
This decision by Apple, although it may seem drastic, is the least that could happen to Epic And it is that Apple intended to make Unreal Engine inoperative, which the judge handling the case was not allowed to do, even though if you endorsed your decision to remove Fortnite and the developer account of Epic
This is how I could download Fortnite until now
Given the decisions made by Apple, Epic Games decided that season 4 of the game would not reach iOS ni macOSBut, it seems, from Epic they seem to be willing to return the purchases made by users through the method introduced in Fortnite contrary to the rules of the App Store
This latest move by Epic Games may mean that they will finally comply with Apple rules that all developers must abide by. And it is that, the only condition of Apple so that Fortnite and Epic Games return to App Store, it is with the standards that all developers comply with.
