Apple has responded, in court, to Epic Games’ lawsuit against the company over Fortnite’s removal from Apple’s App Store. In a filing in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, Apple says that “having decided that it would rather enjoy the benefits of the App Store without paying for them, Epic has breached its contracts with Apple, using its own customers and Apple’s users as leverage.”
The filing, reported by The Verge, is Apple’s response to a suit filed by Epic last week alleging anti-competitive practices by Apple. After Epic published an updated version of Fortnite for the App Store on Aug. 13 — an update that bypassed Apple’s standard payment process (thereby cutting Apple out of a portion of revenue from Fortnite sales) — Apple pulled the battle royale game from its digital store. Epic responded by both filing suit and taking its fight with Apple to the court of public opinion, holding an in-game event that mocked Apple and positioned the company as an oppressive monopoly.
Apple then threatened to cut off Epic’s access to its developer tools, blocking the Fortnite and Unreal Engine developer from the iOS, iPadOS, and Mac OS platforms. Epic then sought an injunction to prevent Apple from terminating its Apple Developer Program accounts, saying that such a move would “reverberate well beyond video games” and “affect developers who use the Unreal Engine on Apple products in many fields.”
Apple responded Friday, saying, “In the wake of its own voluntary actions, Epic now seeks emergency relief. But the ‘emergency’ is entirely of Epic’s own making.” Apple added:
In its filing, Apple reiterated that it will welcome Fortnite back on the App Store if the game adheres to the company’s rules:
Update (5:47 p.m. EDT): On Twitter, Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney took issue with Apple’s characterization of Epic’s request, calling the statement “misleading.” Sweeney posted a copy of an email he sent to top Apple executives on June 30, in which he requested the addition of “competing payment processing options other than Apple payments, without Apple’s fees, in Fortnite and other Epic Games software” and “a competing Epic Games Store app available through the iOS App Store.” Sweeney said in his email that Epic hopes “that Apple will also make these options equally available to all iOS developers.”

The Verge reported that Apple executive Phil Schiller says Epic CEO Tim Sweeney asked for a “special deal” for Epic that would “fundamentally change the way in which Epic offers apps on Apple’s iOS platform.” Apple declined, leading to Epic making a change to payment processing in Fortnite last week.

For now, Epic isn’t backing down. On Thursday, Epic announced an in-game tournament called the #FreeFortnite Cup, promoting it as the last tournament to include all of Fortnite’s mobile players — and giving away anti-Apple rewards to winners and participants.

Trillion dollar betrayal, maaro microsoft ko maaro
This is the moment Tim’s lefty chooses to respond with here? 
MS is siding with the developers who are thrown under the bus because of Epic’s stunt, including their own. They are not siding with Epics ”request” to allow EGS on iOS with equal privileges as the App Store.
chalo, at least this gave the khabba a moment of joy, even if he doesn’t understand what’s this actually meant

Didn't know Xbox studios are currently developing mobile games using Unreal Engine that will run on iOS. How does Hellblade 2 look on mobile?
And the Epic clown is finally here...
Now you know. Glad to teach you, like always.
Forza Street is using Unreal Engine 4.
Now you know. Glad to teach you, like always.
Didn't teach me anything. More like didn't read what I said. Forza Street was released on mobile platforms in May. I said, "didn't know Xbox studios are currently developing mobile games using Unreal Engine that will run on iOS". Epic (pun intended lol) fail.
Not to mention, this game hardly affects Xbox to begin with lol.
And it is continually being updated, like it got updated about a month ago.
As clueless as Tim Sweeney
Continually being updated =/= currently in development, but sureAnd it is continually being updated, like it got updated about a month ago.

Also, this just means the game won't be able to upgrade to a future version of Unreal Engine. MS can continue to update the game provided that it continues to run on the last supported version of the engine. Epic losing access to the Apple SDK means that Epic can no longer support devs with engine updates. The games themselves can continue to receive content updates.
LMAOContinually being updated =/= currently in development, but sure
Will keep making excuses now.
Probably nothing. They already ensured Sweeney won't bring his hypocritical "fight" to run EGS on PlayStation consoles.
I hope Epic remains banned indefinitely. I don't like how Apple runs the App Store, but this is a hole Epic has dug for itself. You want to sell games through your own store? Go make a new phone and knock yourself out.

Why is everybody so hyped up about this overrated piece of trash called unicorn overlord -
faraany3k:
I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

"All of this lends the game distinctly last-gen look at times, which is compounded by image quality and frame-rate issues."
