Apple lied. Apple spent a year telling the world, the court, and the press they’d "welcome Epic’s return to the App Store if they agree to play by the same rules as everyone else". Epic agreed, and now Apple has reneged in another abuse of its monopoly power over a billion users.— Tim Sweeney (@TimSweeneyEpic) September 22, 2021
You have a potentially important point. Apple's decision could be read as witholding Fortnite access to iOS in order to pressure Epic not to appeal. But we're appealing and will fight on regardless.— Tim Sweeney (@TimSweeneyEpic) September 22, 2021
