The battle between Apple and Epic games continues and gamers who play Fortnite on iOS are the ones suffering.
We all know the story, don’t we?. The legal battle is just going on for days now. If you want to know you can read it here.
Just to give an outlook, Apple has banned Epic Games’ Fortnite from its iOS devices and Epic Games feel this isn’t right. Why did they do it? Go read the other article.
As of now, this legal battle has led to no new season of Fortnite for iOS devices.
On Tuesday, Epic Games won a small victory as the court would not allow Apple to sever ties with its APIs and Unreal Engine – a wide used gaming platform owned by Epic Games.
Now moving onto some details. If you have Fortnite on your iOS device, you could still play it. The only problem is you will not get the latest season which launched on Thursday. This means no more cross-platform matchmaking as Apple users will have to play in the current season.
Epic Games is still offering the Fortnite V-Bucks discount. iOS and iPadOS players can still download the game if it was downloaded before, but new players still won’t be able to and it doesn’t seem like Epic intends to cave back into using Apple’s payments platform.
Even the android users don’t have the comfort to download Fortnite from Play Store. But, they have found a way somehow where Android users can download the game from Epic Game’s website. Apple users can’t do such things as Apple’s policies and permissions are far more strict.
The saga will go on for quite a long time and in all this its the common people who will suffer.
