Apple has terminated Epic's iOS developer account, putting a big roadblock in front of the studio's plan to bring Fortnite back to iPhones and iPads in Europe. Epic has published some, er, highlights from its correspondence with Apple on the subject, and they're some of the most hilariously spiteful bits of corporate messaging you will ever see.
This month, newly implemented EU regulations are set to loosen the restrictions that platform holders - like Apple - can enforce on what software users install to their devices. Fortnite disappeared from iOS years ago because of Epic's dispute with Apple over just this sort of thing, and last month, Epic announced that it plans to bring Fortnite back to Apple devices alongside the release of a separate Epic Games Store app on the platform.
