After being banned for five years, apple’s app returned to Fortnite, iPhone or iPad like this – News18 hindi

New Delhi. The highly popular multiplayer shooter of EPIC Games, Fortnite, has returned to America’s Apple App Store after about 5 years of ban. This game is considered a big win for the developer. EPIC Games, which is an American studio made by Chinese Tencent support, had been entangled in a legal dispute with Apple since 2020. The company accused Apple of violating the US antitrust laws, as Apple imposes a commission of up to 30% on in-app purchases.

Fortnite’s return to America on Apple’s iOS platform is a big news. The return came when a federal judge ruled on 30 April that Apple violated a court order, in which he needed to open the App Store for more competition. The judge also found that Apple did not follow the previous order and sent the case to the federal prosecutors for a possible criminal contempt inquiry. Tim Sweeny, CEO of EPIC Games, posted on social media platform x, “We Back Fam”.

Da Davidson analyst Gill Luria said that this victory was very difficult for EPIC Games and its price was also very high. It is possible that it is too late to promote Fortnite game, which is no longer at its peak. This is another setback for Apple, as the business of their services depends on the developers for every transaction.

Michael Ashley Shulman, Chief Investment Officer of Running Point Capital Advisors, said that this will give subscription apps like Spotify and Netflix a chance to get their margin back and independent studios will be able to earn from their apps without giving additional commissions, without giving additional commissions to Apple. This can lead to a big change in the economy of iOS in the next 12-18 months.
