After today’s judicial decision, which blew a huge hole through Apple’s Gobby Mattis, Epic Games CEO Tim Swini announced that Fortonite would return to the iOS App Store in the United States next week.
The game has been away from the store for four years on the game after some back -back shown between Apple and Epic, where Apple has decided to protest Apple’s 30 % of Apple’s app purchase tax by adding 30 % of Apple’s app to the game against these app purchase tax, which has ignored Apple. Since it was a clear (and planned) violation of the App Store guidelines, Apple removed the game from the store, though the game was very popular at the time. Epic immediately announced that he was prosecuted by Apple and also released a series of anti -Apple videos.
We will return to the USIOS App Store next week.
EPIC has proposed peace: If Apple extends a court -free, Apple tax -free framework around the world, we will return Fortonite to the App Store around the world and leave the current and future legalization on the subject. https://t.co/birtPM0TV

Four years later, it seems that Epic has achieved what he has said about it, which is allowed by developers to use the Apple Commission -free payment system as well as use frightened tactics to its customers. Swini also said in his X post that as a offer of peace, if Apple increases the US court’s decision around the world, as a offer of peace, epic games will eliminate all current and future legalism on this topic.
Considering Apple, it has already been said that it will appeal to the US court’s decision, it is unlikely that the Swanish offer will be accepted. However, an Apple VP was found to be on record in court, the chances of terminating Apple’s decision seem to be somewhat thin.
