"Apple's Ban on Epic Games' Developer Account Halts EU Game Store and Fortnite iOS Plans"

TL;DR Summary
Epic's plans to launch an iOS version of its Epic Games Store in the EU have been stalled after Apple terminated its developer account, citing Epic as "verifiably untrustworthy." This move also impacts the return of Fortnite to iOS. The termination comes after a history of disputes between the two companies, with Epic accusing Apple of undermining competition and showing other developers the consequences of challenging its practices. As a result, an iOS version of the Epic Games Store and the return of Fortnite to iOS are unlikely in the near future, and legal battles between Epic and Apple are expected to continue.
