Summary
Fortnite, Epic Games' mega hit, will return to the U.S. App Store despite a legal battle with Apple over antitrust violations. A court decision found Apple in "willful violation" of its 2021 injunction, allowing it to continue imposing anticompetitive practices. Epic CEO Tim Sweeney has indicated that Fortnite will be re-introduced next week but emphasized the need for broader international cooperation on antitrust issues. Apple has already begun enforcing its antitrust tactics again, and Epic has signaled its intent to seek an appeal of the court's ruling.
