Epic Games, the creator of Fortnite, announced that Apple has blocked their submission for the game on iOS, preventing its release on the U.S. App Store and the Epic Games Store in the E.U. Apple claimed that the block was due to the inclusion of a U.S. storefront and suggested resubmission without it. Epic Games' CEO, Tim Sweeney, criticized Apple for potentially using the App Review process as a tactic to hinder competition. This conflict stems from an ongoing legal battle concerning market monopolization and in-app payment fees, igniting concerns for players' access.
