Then, and only then, would there even be the chance for Apple to reconsider having the Fortnite App Store return happen. So, even if the final court decision favors mostly Epic Games over Apple, the iPhone company would choose to continue fighting in the courts with as many appeals as they are possibly allowed until they are unable to anymore. But not just finished, but to the point where Apple is unable to make any more appeals to the court to reverse the decision. What makes this part rather fascinating is that Apple is saying that there is no way for the Fortnite App Store until this entire lawsuit is over with. “Furthermore, Apple will not consider any further requests for reinstatement until the district court’s judgment becomes final and non-appealable.”
With all of this said and done, it is not surprising, but what is interesting about this situation is that the email did not stop there but continued with one final sentence that is quite intriguing. With all of these pieces in place, Perry noted that other parts add to it, like other statements from the courts and “Epic’s duplicitous conduct in the past.” Altogether, this has led Apple not to reinstate the Epic Games developer account at this time.Īpple Will Not Reinstate Epic’s Account Until Appeals Are Completed Since then, the courts have found that the termination of the Epic Games developer account and contract have been legally sound, so no reversal is technically needed.Īfter that decision was made, Perry notes that Sweeney made a public statement about how the company would not give up the alternative payment system that it came up with (which sparked this entire lawsuit) to have the Fortnite App Store return happen.
Some of the examples that are brought up include the “intentional breach of contract” and a general breach of trust in making omissions and other decisions. From there, there is a large amount of legal jargon about the supposed regulations that Epic broke then. The email begins by noting that this is in direct response to a request for the Epic Games developer account to be reinstated after its termination last year, about a year ago at this point. The subject line for the email is a reply directly to an email titled “Developer Program Account” and then a string of letters and numbers that likely represent Epic’s Apple developer account. Gary Bernstein of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP is addressed as the recipient from a certain Mark A. He shared an image of a letter that he received from what looks to be one of the legal counsels that have represented Epic Games. Sweeney used Twitter this week to share the recent developments that have happened between his company and Apple. Interestingly enough, the source this time around comes from the CEO of Epic himself, Tim Sweeney. Further details have come out about Apple’s decision about the Fortnite App Store return since then. Epic Games recently revealed that it would like to have its developer account restored for the Apple services after the ruling was made in the trial, such as iOS and macOS, to bring Fortnite battle royale back to this mobile gaming market, specifically in South Korea and perhaps later in the rest of the world.
