Fortnite is now unavailable on iOS globally, Epic Games said Friday, after Apple blocked a bid to reinstate the popular game on the App Store in the U.S.
TBH, I’m kind of happy this is happening, with such a big game too. Kids will learn the hard way that they don’t own online-only games they paid for, and can’t trust on Apple, Epic and other such providers to keep content they bough available.
It’s being pushed on all of us as the norm, so things like that might actually help the game preservation cause.
It’s not clear that this is Apple’s doing as even third party stores took the game down. Tim Sweeney is such a shit eating petty asshole that I can believe he ordered it just to rile people up.

Maybe the Saudis bought it on a whim
Apple released a statement. It was, as expected, Epic who took it down worldwide. Apple only blocked it Stateside.
