For players of mobile devices, it was one of the consequences to fear of the sentence issued on September 10 . Leaving the developers to integrate microtransractions that Elude Apple tax on purchases within the game, Apple has decided to include Fortnite on the black list of its devices until all recourse to the courts has expired. And it seems that it goes for long.
In other words, as summarized the Epic CEO, Tim Sweeney, Fortnite should not be playable through the App Store for 5 years , which is the duration of the rest of the legal appeal process.
On September 16, after the trial, Tim Sweeney asked Apple to reopened Fortnite s developer accounts. But the brand of the apple, five days later, declined this proposal, choosing turning the back to Epic Games until the end of the Legal Telenovela.
For Tim Sweeney, this is other anti-competitive maneuver by Apple, and one that demonstrates its ability to shape the market and choose winners and losers . However, this new blockade carried out by Apple seems this time only directed against Epic Games. Therefore, the two companies are far from burying the ax.
EPIC Games and Apple entered a war open on August 13, 2020 after EPIC configures its own payment system in Fortnite, thus avoiding the store that usually gravel Apple 30%. The Californian firm then withdrew the Battle Royale from its App Store, in retaliation.
