I guess it has to do with the fact that Epic has appealed the court verdict. I can understand that Apple doesn’t feel like doing business with someone who has an active legal case against them.
- Jensson 5y agoThat makes sense, thanks! The dispute isn't resolved yet, easy to understand. I assume if Epic accepted the court ruling then Apple would be forced to comply?
- nyx-aiur 5y agoNo, because in the ruling it was stated that apple has every right to not only ban epic but also to ban every epic subsidiary if they so desire.
- ribit 5y agoI am not sure they can be forced to comply (if I remember correctly this particular court decision mentioned that Apple was within their right for terminating Epic’s account), but that’s just half of the story. It is true that Apple has promised to reinstate Epic once they agree to follow their rules. What I find really disingenuous about all this is Tim Sweeney‘s attitude - he appeals the decision while at the same time publicly blaming Apple for not following up on their part of the bargain. It’s just embarrassing at this point.
- madeofpalk 5y agoApple would be forced to comply with the court ruling, which does not require Apple to reinstate Epic's account and allow Fortnite back on the App Store.
