So many grumpy old people in here. I don't play it, don't care for it, but I don't crap on people that do. And people of all ages play this game ... and video games in general. Video games are a gargantuan market and it's not going away anytime soon.
Got a tip for us?

Exactly! I myself first tried my hands building my own Hackintosh and seeing how my workflow goes with macOS. I never worked with Windows for my work again and just 4 years later, I bought my first MacBook and iPhone, and have been buying newer models as well.
If I had to spend USD 1800 in the blind without knowing what will happen to my workflow, I likely would not have. Not making macOS not work on anything except Intel hardware made me an Apple customer.
Yes, my case is such that I don’t get two week trials here, I would have to buy the machine outright and can’t return.
Having anything Apple out there helps Apple.

😂 how? Apple is the sole owner of the iOS App Store. It's their baby.
You might be right. But cant help but lose respect for you. By time you are an adult I would hope you have better ways to spend your time than Fortnite - and Im not saying gaming is a not good way to spend your time lol.
I've never played fortnight, but I'm not ignoring reality.......!
Of course. Millions are still playing it, as posted earlier:
With more than 80.4 million Fortnite monthly active users and up to 4 million concurrent players every day, Fortnite is the most popular battle royale game in 2022. With the massive cumulative tournament prize pool of $7.88 million in 2020, Fortnite is the third leading eSports game in the world
From here:
Is Fortnite dying? How many people play Fortnite in 2022?

Yeah, all we need, someone deciding what site I can and cannot visit with a specific browser...
Don’t you like them? Don’t they have a PC or games console. Why punish them by giving them a poor experience. ?
This is a proof that Apple should remove Safari on all devices immediately as it allows access to unapproved content and violates all rules enforced for other apps. The Web has no place on iOS. It was not invented by Apple and would never have been nor by anyone else had mobile platforms been invented before the web. Web Browser on mobile platforms is an anomaly and it's bad for security, privacy, the children, your gran'ma, etc.
The old "it's popular so it must be good" dumb argument. In any case, I said nothing about PC. You know consoles exist?
I do. I'm not a kid. I love it. It is perfect for my short attention span and I'm pretty good.
Fortnite is a very popular game, I wonder who got hurt more Epic Games or Apple for not having it in the app store. I can see kids saying I will not buy iphone it does not have Fortnite.
CODM nailed it with their (customizable) on-screen controls.
I was really skeptical as I cannot play FPS games with a controller whatsoever.
I’d say Epic got hurt more. Because, rather than stick to their guns of “WE HAVE TO BE ON THE APP STORE!” they’ve already licked their wounds and put out a streaming solution in order to rekindle that Apple user revenue stream. It’ll be interesting to see if they’re able to get it back to where it was without Apple’s easy to use IAP service.
Honestly, I think this will work out for games compatible with GeForce NOW. I mean, Epic may be a piece of crap but actually getting to NVidia and having a touch-based game rolling around there?
This has potential, as in "This virtual joystick or touch based controls will allow MORE games, including AAA games, to come over to iOS" kind of thing. What we're going to get is actually the BETTER solution than just screaming like a petulant child until you get your way.
Your telemetry will show 180fps when in reality you're getting 30. Nvidia is as evil as corps get.
Meh - I'm 50+ and play Fortnite - its fun. However, would never consider playing on a phone/tablet.
The touch based controls aren’t new, though. Games have been supporting touch based joysticks since the first game apps on iOS. What’s MOST likely to bring AAA games to iOS? Take Two buying Zynga. While Zynga’s profits adds nicely to Take Two’s bottom line, they’re more interested in the mobile developers they’re acquiring as a part of the purchase.
