Fortnite Not Launching Free Market Competition

Apple routinely stops signing older versions of software updates after new releases come out in order to encourage.

Fortnite for iPhone, iPad, and Mac will not get the new season.

The updated version with the Chapter 2 Season 4 content available to Fortnite players on other platforms, and the non-updated version of Fortnite on Apples platforms.

That means Fortnite users who have friends on other platforms will not be able to play with those friends.

During the hearing for the restraining order, Epics lawyers said that the company wouldnt go back into an anticompetitive contract.

Fortnite Not Launching Free Market Competition

Their proposal is an invitation for Epic to collude with Apple to maintain their monopoly over in-app payments on iOS, suppressing free market competition and inflating prices.

As a matter of principle, we wont participate in this scheme.

Fortnite could stop working entirely, or it could continue to run in its current incarnation on devices that have already downloaded it.

Apple had originally planned to terminate the Epic Games developer account and all linked accounts, but Epic was able to get a temporary restraining order to prevent that from happening.

Unless Epic Games decides to comply with the App Store rules, Fortnite will be unable to be updated for at least the next month, if it continues to work at all after the Epic Games developer account is terminated.
