  Thanks to everyone who supported the effort to open up mobile competition and #FreeFortnite from the very beginning. And thanks to all of the folks who initially sided with Apple then later came around to the winning side, supporting app developer rights and consumer rights.

  Apple did themselves a favor letting Fortnite back into the US store. Clearly it's a game their customers were excited to play. Now it would be nice if they'd do the right thing and let the rest of the world play too. Bygones, babe!

  This is absolutely incredible. Everyone go get Fortnite on your Phones and iPads NOW!!! We worked SO hard in those early days of Fortnite to really dial in and refine a great control scheme for mobile devices!

  🤦🏼‍♂️ But App Store search is so slow to update, you can't even find it yet. Probably gonna be 12-24 hours before it's rightfully back at the top of the search results. (I swear, the App Store search team really needs to fix this for notable launches. We've been complaining for

  We want to extend our congratulations to @TimSweeneyEpic, Epic and everyone who's been working tirelessly to promote real competition in mobile ecosystems. The recent rulings is a major turning point for native apps, and that includes browsers! This is a win access the board!

  ps it was really dumb of Apple to require the Court to weigh in yesterday. They're running on empty in goodwill going into the ninth circuit.

• @gergelyorosz Gergely Orosz on x

  HUGE news 5 years, Epic spending ~$100M on lawyer fees... and the court ruled that Apple cannot block Fortnite just because it uses web payments where Apple cannot take a 30% cut! (I's not Apple's infra, and Apple has nothing to do with it!) Now other apps will follow. Massive

  Fortnite is back in the US App Store. Yesterday, the Judge said an Apple executive would need to face questions at a hearing if the app wasn't approved by the end of the month. Funny how that works.

  Sometimes a judge threatening to call in Phil Schiller will make things happen.

  Took 10 days, a judge intervening and the threat of an Apple executive needing to testify to get Fortnite approved yet initial responses to this were blaming the weekend.
