  Apple is preventing us from distributing games on Mac which ends our ability to develop Fortnite: Save the World for the platform. Beginning September 23, 2020, Save the World will no longer be playable on Mac. For more information, please visit: https://fn.gg/... https://twitter…

  Interesting to note that since notarization is effectively mandatory at mainstream scale, Apple deciding to kick you off the developer program means that you can't distribute even OUTSIDE of the App Store on the Mac. https://twitter.com/...

  If you are building software that will run in Apple's ecosystem remember that they have full control even outside of the App Store. There is only the illusion of freedom. https://twitter.com/...

  Tsai has a point, but I think Epic would have a stronger legal argument if they kept putting Fortnite on the Mac and document actual damages caused by Apple. As it stands, I think judges will see it as Epic taking their ball and going home. https://twitter.com/...

  @jcenters Are you suggesting that they should ship unsigned/unnotarized software? That doesn't really count.

  What keeps me from being sympathetic to Epic is that they are completely full of shit. Absolutely nothing stops them from distributing software on the Mac. They're punching themselves in the face and blaming Apple for it. https://twitter.com/...

  Probably fairer to say “Our impasse with Apple is preventing us from getting our developer account re-instated and we've chosen not to distribute directly, which is an option on the Mac, because negotiating pressure tactic. You're collateral damage.” ? https://twitter.com/...

  At what point does “taking a principled stand” become “wantonly punishing your users to make a point”? #epic https://twitter.com/...

  I think Fortnite should compensate all STW Mac players by giving them some llamas and a free hero. https://twitter.com/...
