Epic Games Offers Apple 'Peace Proposal' to Return Fortnite to the App Store Worldwide

[jonblatho]

This is far from over. Apple has the resources to make this a forever case.

The Supreme Court has denied certiorari for this case, which is final. Apple must abide by this ruling or, since Judge Gonzalez Rogers has referred the case for potential criminal contempt proceedings, face consequences.

If Epic chooses to pick a separate fight with Apple, or if someone else picks the same fight, then it’s a different story. But this is the end of the road for this case.

Tim Sweeney must be brainstorming these ideas while freebasing optimism; or is that crack, I get them confused when reading Sweeney. 🤣

Allow lowlife Sweeney back on the App Store? That’s laughable. That Sweeney Snake is a horrible human being. Does everyone forget how he manipulated the Fortnite kids to empty their wallets? He’s no good and Apple knows enough to stay away from this creep

Him being a horrible person and Apple being wrong on this can both be true.

This is what is known as chutzpah folks. Unreal. Epic gets to freeload and willfully break rules and then has the nerve to propose a "peace offering"?

Tim Cook needs to tell Epic/Sweeny/Spotify/Ek to go **** themselves.

What gets me is they always use the IP’s of any and all movies, artists, etc for this same game. All while profiting due to no production costs

Like they did the judge on this case? That worked out just splendidly.

YES!!! Thank you Epic!!! So grateful!!! Just because I buy something on a website on my Mac does not mean Apple deserves 15 or 30%! It’s the same thing with an app!! Thank you for justice removing this terrible unfair tax on developers for all these years! Next is removing this self created App Store only policy and we are free!

Right, because when I buy shoes at Nordstrom, I demand they send the full amount to Nike and thank them for the honor of stocking their stuff. 🤨🤣

Do you realize the Apple VP of Finance LIED UNDER OATH in this case?

Do people still really play Fortnite. I don’t kids say much about this game anymore

I’ve tried it one and couldn’t get past the dreadfully long respawn time.

Why don't you address the point I made and then we'll discuss this other issue.

Not much of an offer...returning Fortnite to the App Store mostly benefits Epic, and Epic has repeatedly lost in court so dropping litigation also mostly benefits Epic.

You read about the case Apple just lost, right?

Nobody is freeloading, and your other "point" was a bunch of profanity

I want my infinity blade save back you…

The case is over lol. Apple lost. This can’t goto SCOTUS. Either they abide by the ruling or face contempt.

Your profile image makes me uneasy 🤣

Me too! 😂

Apple employees should face jail time over this. They damage the whole software industry and customers.

Having Tim Apple and a few other incompetent execs jailed would be the best thing that could happen to the company in at least the last 30 years.

Apple did not lose a case. In fact, Apple won this case on every single issue except this one. This is just an order granting Epic's motion to enforce the injunction it got in the previous case.

 

[Plutonius]

I would be surprised if Apple let Epic back into the US Apple store.

Perjury and referrals for criminal contempt proceedings are not typically associated with “wins”.

I'm not exaggerating when I say that every single sentence in your comment is wrong.

The underlying case may be over, but Apple won on 9 out of original 10 claims. This order can absolutely be appealed to SCOTUS, but will first be appealed to the 9th Circuit. And Apple can (and will) move for an emergency stay of the order, probably by the end of the week.

 

[Icehart]

It’s largely due to these legal battles that Apple has been forced to get back on track. Remember the EU regulations? Without them, we’d probably still be stuck with the inferior Lightning connector instead of USB-C.

Just answer why doesn’t Apple take 30% when I buy something on a website on their Mac. Please let me know your answer and then tell me why it’s not the same on the phone. And if your answer is because you’re going through the App Store that’s a self created policy of the only distribution method on iPhone.
