Fortnite is back in the App Store

As I posted on Blue Sky, I’m really not surprised that Fortnite made it’s way back on the App Store. Apple probably should have extended an olive branch to Epic after they were forced to allow apps to link out to alternative payment methods. Epic lost their case, but the damage was done, and Apple would have looked magnanimous to allow the game back on their platforms. Instead, they were once again staring down the barrel to be forced into letting Epic back in. Ultimately, I agree with Apple’s stance that Elpic broke the store rules as a stunt, and in doing so they shouldn’t be allowed to develop for iOS. But Apple was steadfastly petty when it should have tried to rebuild their reputation with developers.
