Apple claims it's not blocking Epic from offering Fortnite in the EU


Apple says it's not preventing Epic from republishing Fortnite, it just doesn't want Epic to do it in the US.

The company submitted Fortnite for publishing on May 9 following a victory in court that forced Apple to allow developers to support alternative payment methods for apps on the web. At the time, Epic CEO Tim Sweeney was hoping to use the change as justification to bring Fortnite back entirely, after only offering the game through streaming platforms on mobile. Fortnite was originally removed from the App Store because Epic started directing players to circumvent Apple's in-app payment system to buy in-game currency.
