> Judge denies Epic’s request to force Apple to bring Fortnite back to App Store
The judge has proposed the temporary compromise that Apple allow Fortnite onto the store while Epic pays into an escrow — which Epic has refused.
If Epic can't get it done, another big lawsuit will certainly come along. I hope we can force them into allowing side loading and third party stores. This is definitely possible given that we have laws which forbid car manufacturers from selling directly to people. Anything's possible!
Epic should show a lit bit of good faith IMO if they want to be taken seriously...
