Epic is very clearly and definitely not agreeing to follow the App Store rules. They are appealing the judgement precisely because they do not agree with the App Store rules. Trying to overturn them is not agreeing to them.
Epic are agreeing to comply with the court order, for now, but they are not agreeing to the rules. This is not semantics, Apple's offer was that if Epic dropped he suit, they would be let back in. Epic knows this perfectly well.
- gpm 5y agoThey are very clearly agreeing to follow the app store rules. They're also trying to force them to change, but they are very clearly agreeing to follow whatever the rules are at all times. The rules do not include "you cannot sue us" or "you cannot appeal decisions". If apple tried to put those in the rules, the court would quickly remove them from the rules, but also Apple did not, and almost certainly will not even attempt to put them in the rules.

- simonh 5y agoIt’s been perfectly clear all along, to anyone closely following the case and Apples deposition and legal statements exactly what Apples position was. Their conditions for letting Fortnite back in was Epic agreeing to drop the case and follow the rules. This has never changed.
- elpool2 5y agoThe statement Apple made that most people are referring to was "As we've said all along, we would welcome Epic's return to the App Store if they agree to play by the same rules as everyone else." so it doesn't seem like "drop the case" was a condition, at least according to this one statement.
- simonh 5y agoAgreeing in a court means not filing a court case saying they disagree. It means legally agree. But anyway all the lawyers and the judge would have understood this and that's what matters in a court.
