the pettiness will never stop and tbh i'm here for it, mostly because i couldn't give 2 fucks if fortnite is on iOS
Epic made Apple open their ecosystem (which Apple very much did not want to do) through the courts and legal action, of course they're going to fight them on every technicality and every possible avenue.
you don't bite the hand that feeds you then ask them to serve dinner

As someone who hates Apple, I approve of Apple doing this. I approve of any decisions from Apple that might deter people from using their junk.

Apple does have the right (baked into their developer agreements, app store agreements, and business relationship agreements) to reject any product submission for any reason and they don't even have to give you a reason why. All the publishing marketplaces do the same thing.
It's their toy so you play with it they way they want you to play with it or not at all.

What? This is the result of a judges decision that Apple can't play by their own anti-competitive rules. A decision that they tried to subvert which involved an Apple exec lying under oath. That opened up for Fortnite returning to iOS and Apple are now trying to subvert the ruling by just refusing app approval.

....are they though? no one outside of gaming gives even half a fuck about this, and the net impact on iphone sales is probably a rounding error to Apple
the financial impact of allowing companies to skirt their 30% app store cut is much, much, much larger

When Microsoft was sued by the FTC in the late 90s (and lost), they weren't doing half the shit Apple does today.

Yes indeed. Wouldn't lose sleep over any of them fading away, even though their wealth prevents that anytime soon.

It's not the PR its the additional judicial scrutiny. They are risking losing more control of their own store if they keep pushing this.

They have Apple approved Epic Survival Battle Royale 3D in the store, no need for alt stores.
Check out this glowing user review:

I really don't care if they will be fined or not, maybe Epic has to take them to court again and it will take another year.
It's just fun to watch them fight

Jk, you went into the Apple basket for the lulz, but I would never disrespect you seriously because you're my bro.

I stand with Apple. This is not about Fortnite or Epic. It's about Tencent, which controls Epic, trying to force Apple to allow the Tencent appstore on the iPhone in China.

Turns out Epic needlessly deleted iPhone Fortnite in Europe. Just so they can cry foul at Apple.

I suspect that is due to the contract they have for licensing SW copyrighted materials from Disney. The contract probably specifies the regions as a collective and without being able to sell to Apple US customers Epic probably can't comply with their side of the contract with Disney.Turns out Epic needlessly deleted iPhone Fortnite in Europe.

On the surface,
Imagine forcing a store to sell or list someone else's product in "free trade."
