Apple blocks Fortnite on the App Store and continues its war against Epic Games

Article arrow_drop_down

Everything seemed to indicate that the war between Apple and Epic Games was finally over. As most people will know, the Cupertino-based company and the video game company had been involved in a legal dispute for several years caused by Fortnite and the commissions that the App Store took from payments made in the battle royale.

It all started because Epic Games, seeking to bypass those fees that they considered excessive, sought several ways for purchases to be made outside the App Store, something that did not work because Apple continued to charge them the same. This, according to the judge in the case, has meant a violation of the European Union’s Digital Markets Act, which has led to the video game company being vindicated and Apple being forced to stop these practices

Apple blocks Fortnite from the App Store

When it seemed that the soap opera was finally over and that the winner of this war was Epic Games, a new episode has opened. And, as reported by the official ‘X’ account of Fortnite, Apple has decided to block the video game from its App Store, thus preventing millions of players from downloading it and playing on their mobile devices

The thing does not stop here, as in addition to not allowing the arrival of Fortnite to the App Store, they have also blocked downloads from Epic Games’ own website. This means that they have made the game even disappear from a third-party site, something that we will see how it ends legally, as it could cause even more problems for Apple

What is clear is that Apple has not been at all satisfied with the final ruling and does not want to take this hard blow that it has suffered. This is a ‘tantrum’ that could prove costly, as Epic Games could go back to court and this could lead to a new legal conflict in which the bitten apple company does not have much chance of winning.

The Rockies Have 25 Games Left to Prove They Are Not Among the Worst Ever

The Rockies might not actually lose a record 122 games or more. It's not that they have been good over the summer, but Colorado has certainly changed the nature of their losing. They have a .380 winning percentage and 30-49 record since the start of June – which again, is bad – but it's "lose 101 games" bad, not "set a new historical mark for incompetence". Which is where they were through May, when they had just nine – nine! – wins in their first 58 games.The thing is, that horrid early start still lingers enough that the Rockies aren't completely out of the woods yet. If they have a putrid September on par with some of their earlier work in the year, well, any optimism built up from the summer is going to vanish in a hurry. And even […]

Prvoligový objev Cupák naposledy se svou třídou, děti svému učiteli úspěch přejí

FotogaleriePrvní školní den byl pro žáky sedmé třídy sportovní školy jiný než obvykle. Museli se rozloučit se svým oblíbeným třídním učitelem. Ten dostal přes léto nabídku, která se neodmítá. V šestadvaceti letech první profesionální smlouvu s prvoligovým fotbalovým týmem. Příležitost vzal pevně do svých rukou a na ligových trávnících je pořádně vidět. Za první dvě kola vstřelil univerzální středopolař dvě branky a během sedmi odehraných kol k nim přidal i dvě asistence.Do třídy vstupoval s pokorou, hned jak jej žáci spatřili, sklidil obrovský potlesk. Aby ne, ve škole je oblíbený. Mohli by být naštvaní, že od nich odchází, ale přejí mu štěstí v jeho nastoupené kariéře. „Pro pana učitele je to velký úspěch. Všichni mu to moc přejeme. Hraje první ligu, takže výborně. Navíc nám ukázal dobrou motivaci. Jít si za svým cílem,“ sdělil pro Sport.cz třináctiletý fotbalista Honza.Sportovní třídu dostal Michal Cupák na starosti před rokem. „Všichni […]

US Open 2025 live updates: Day 9 scores, results with De Minaur ahead, Gauff, Sinner, Swiatek later

The last couple of days have served as a reminder that playing tennis when level or behind is very different from playing when ahead, especially for underdogs.Saturday, Denis Shapovalov got to 40-40 on his own serve at 3-1 in the third set against Jannik Sinner. Sinner’s shoelace snapped, so he paused to change his shoe, giving Shapovalov time to think he likely did not need. Sinner put on his shoes, broke Shapovalov’s serve and rolled to victory untroubled from there.And over on Louis Armstrong Stadium, Taylor Townsend got herself to within a point of beating Barbora Krejčíková on no fewer than eight occasions. She couldn’t seize the moment, undone by her own caution while ahead and Krejčíková’s freedom when behind, with the Czech blazing winners onto the lines to save several of them.The ability to step up in such moments […]

Ve Vlašimi skončil trenér Harant, nahradil ho Pilný
