Apple Removes Developer License from Epic Games

Apple‘s warnings regarding the latest actions taken by Epic Games around the Apple Store policy have finally been executed. Epic has lost its developer license , and has stopped having access to the Apple platform losing all the privileges and publications that it had made until now. What does this mean? Trust us, this is not good news for anyone.

Epic Games disappears from the App Store

Apple Removes Developer License from Epic Games

If for some reason you have been hidden in a cave away from the internet connection and you have not heard anything about what happened, we will give you a quick review. Apple charges 30% for each sale made in its App Store as a service tax. Any developer who wants to publish in the Apple Store, must pay 30% of all sales, the game itself and the internal ones that are made within the game. It is law.

Epic did not like this at all, so, with its latest update, it invited players to make the jump to the internet (from Fortnite), to make the purchases of accessories that they believe appropriate. Thus, Epic would offer a succulent discount to the players, and incidentally, it saved from paying 30% to Apple, since the sales were made outside the Apple Store. And of course, this angered Apple.

The same happened with Google and its Play Store, so both giants decided to remove the Fortnite application from their stores, waiting for Epic to recognize their mistake and promise to change it. But of course, that has not happened.

Goodbye to license

Apple warned Epic Games that if it continued with that position, it would have no choice but to revoke the developer license with access to the App Store, something that has finally happened and that carries the following consequences:

Fortnite disappears completely . And when we say completely, it means that now we will not be able to download Fortnite from the App Store if we had previously done so. If you ever installed Fortnite, you still had a chance to do it again by going into your library of purchased and installed apps, but this has already stopped working due to the game disappearing from there as well.

Another of those affected is Infinity Blade . The famous saga of combat by gestures that served so much to champion the possibilities of Apple’s chips has also disappeared from the App Store (it already disappeared a couple of years ago, but now it also disappears from the personal library of users), this being More worrying case, since it is a paid game that many users bought and that now has ceased to exist. Will Apple return the money? That is what many claim now.

No Season 4

The disappearance of the game comes at one of the worst moments for users since a few days ago season 4 began , a new event that iOS and Mac players have missed because they could not update the game to the latest version .

Those who continue to have Fortnite installed on their iPhone, iPad or Mac, will be able to continue entering the servers, but the content will be limited to what happened at the end of season 3, without the possibility of leveling up in the battle pass, winning new ones Add-ons or complete the Wolverine Claws Challenges. Such is the demand to play, that many users are selling iPhones with Fortnite installed for absurd prices, sometimes reaching the figure of $ 10,000.
