Yesterday afternoon, Apple broke its week-long silence on the status of our app review with a letter saying they will not act on the Fortnite app submission until the Ninth Circuit Court rules on the partial stay. We believe this violates the Court’s Injunction and we have filed a second Motion to Enforce Injunction with the US District Court for the Northern District of California. We’ve been transparent with Apple about our intentions while they’ve used app review and notarization as a pretext to circumvent the Court’s injunction and the EU Digital Markets Act. Apple’s “solution” required us to submit two versions of Fortnite, in violation of their guideline that developers shouldn’t submit multiple versions of the same app. That’s not the standard Apple holds other developers to and it’s blocking us from releasing our update in the EU and US. Apple is again retaliating against Epic for challenging the legality of their anticompetitive behavior and we will fight on. Read the filing here. fn.gg/May16EpicFiling
