Simply put, Apple is just a very stingy and greedy as they come. It's actually one of the biggest challenges most people have with making use of their products.

Head_Hunter Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 (edited) I think everyone in the tug of war disagreement over a broken deal is simply looking at what's right for them, and that's it. Apple delisted fortnight cos they sense something inappropriate which fortnight developers lashed out on them, they alone knows the reason behind the dispute that led to the game's removal.

Heatman Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 With how the level of toxicity in Fortnite gaming community is positioned, I don't really care much about what Google and Apple does about the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I wouldn't know what made Apple on their own cut Fortnight video game out of their store, maybe it's on a mutual consent with the developers of Fortnight. They ought to have given clearer verdict why the actions was taking, by removing the game in their store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have another thread in the gaming news related to this whole thing with Epic and Apple and for once, I had to side with Apple because all Epic wanted to do is keep all the money for themselves instead of paying their developer fees and then wanted Apple to reinstate them after losing the court battle which Apple isn't obliged to.

Well, maybe they saw the direction that the game Fortnite was going and then decided to pull the plug on the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I recently heard about this game after Google and apple reached agreement to delist it via their respective stores. Maybe the video game isn't Live again, only them knows the reason for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's the case, they might have felt disillusioned around the game, decided to erase it from their list because it lacks the fluid they desire from gaming, that's my little observations.

If the game is looking shit at the moment then I got the reason why Apple and Google scrapped it off, when they see no ingredience around it.

It was a whole court case with Apple technically winning and Apple has decided to stick with their decision to delist Fortnite and won't re-list it anytime soon. We actually have other threads about the whole issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin11 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 I don't think so, that it isn't adding positivity to its image. Because the game have been there for long, before the misconception. I am seeing something else behind the scene why it was removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Apple's store is owned by APPLE, THEY choose what product they distribute on it, i highly doubt there's a reason to sue Apple for removing the game from the app store, It's like if you're a cheese brand trying to get your cheese to be sold at your local mall but they say no. Even if Apple hypothetically violated some law in the removal process of Fortnite, in the end they still don't have to ever allow it on their store again nor anything else by Epic Games in the future. So basically all Epic did was to show they're an unreliable and a high-risk business partner to Apple, other companies and investors. Apple's net worth isn't going to suffer from this at all, Epic's on the other hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
