"We agree with Judge Gonzalez-Rogers that 'the sensible way to proceed' is for Epic to comply with the App Store guidelines and continue to operate while the case proceeds. If Epic takes the steps the judge has recommended, we will gladly welcome Fortnite back onto iOS. We look forward to making our case to the court in September."
- modeless 6y agoYou're right. I hadn't seen that Apple had stated this explicitly. I guess Epic filed another motion to the judge to try and prevent Apple from allegedly illegally forcing them to comply, so they're currently waiting to see the result before taking more actions. Edit: Oh, and Epic also says Apple privately threatened to ban them for a year, contradicting what they said in court.

- daveoc64 6y agoWhile Apple originally said that, they have also said that they feel Epic's violation of the rules warrants a one year suspension of their account: https://www.theguardian.com/games/2020/sep/09/fortnite-could-face-year-long-apple-ban-says-epic-games https://www.theguardian.com/games/2020/sep/09/fortnite-could...
