Apple removed the Fortnite game from the app store a while ago after the company that developed it violated the payment rules for the software store.Read more via this link-. Apple was also not satisfied with this, as the conflict escalated to the point of deleting the entire company account. Thus, even those who previously downloaded applications cannot re-download them. Perhaps this does not seem to the observer these days, but the relationship between the two companies was completely the opposite of this. Epic helped Apple make iOS the popular gaming system as it is now. Learn about some of the important stages in the Apple-APIC relationship.
Citadel review and introduction to the capabilities of iOS devices
Ten years ago iOS wasn't the gaming center it is. Mobile devices were in their infancy, and although technologies were not of the current development, Apple devices were already ahead of the peers in the field of processor power and graphics. So Apple wanted to introduce users and developers to the capabilities of its devices. So, as it usually happened, Apple later agreed with developers to present the capabilities of the devices at the conference announcing the iPhone. The most prominent of them was Epic with its Citadel "game". And I put the word game in quotes because it wasn't a real game, but it was a village attached to a castle that you wander around just to contemplate. Its goal was to prove that Apple devices can run games with strong graphics and fine detail. Many of Citadel's features were even beyond the capabilities of the Xbox and Playstation at the time in terms of dynamic lights and more. This was a giant breakthrough for iOS gaming and the start of an era of complex games in your pocket.
It is reported that this game was not released on Android devices until 2013.
Titles from Epic featured the iPhone
Epic hasn't only reviewed Citadel at Apple conferences. But Apple boasted on stage in other years with the Infinity Blade series consisting of three parts, which are considered the most powerful iOS games at all in its era and had no competitor, whether in terms of strength of graphics or design, accuracy of work, the wide world, or even the influential story. We even picked it several times among the best games of all time in our articles. These games represented one of the most important stations in the superiority of iOS devices in games. It was completely exclusive and not released for Android.
On Mac too
The partnership was not limited to iPhone games. Apple decided to review Metal's new graphics software for Mac by showing the Fortnite game on stage. This was an important thing, as most games that are developed for several systems, as in the case of Fortnite, do not take advantage of the Mac and its software features well because of the limited players on it. However, Epic was among the first to adopt Apple's new technology and in one of its most important games.
Unreal Engine
Also, Epic's participation in Apple's gaming world is not limited to producing games only. Rather, its Unreal game engine is one of the best known and best. It is available for other developers to develop games for iOS. For example, the game PUBG and PES 2020 and even the wonderful game Oceanhorn 2, which Apple uses to announce its arcade system.
It is also mentioned that the Unreal Engine is used on many systems to make graphics and games for PC, Xbox, Playstation and others. Stopping iOS support for the engine could lead to companies moving away from it altogether. Whereas, the game developer wants to make sure that his game can work on all possible platforms if he wants to make it available. Including iOS.
comment
Epic's move to break the App Store rules before suing Apple was never successful. Especially with the issues facing Apple by distinguishing between companies, if Apple decided to give Epic a special treatment, as happened with Amazon, this would prove the accusation. But regardless of who is wrong, I personally feel sad about the existence of a battle between these two companies in particular. Epic games were among my most important and many memories with the iPhone and contributed to many fun times. In the end, whatever the ruling, we will not lose much as users of iOS devices and Apple giants will not be eliminated by the loss. But my wish is that the Epic games return to the store. Because the company is one of its best contributors and one of the most innovators in the field of iOS gaming. And losing it is a loss for every gamer.
Thank you for the effort  
Burke in you
Thank you for this nice topic
From my point of view, APIC is the one who benefited from Apple when reviewing its games, and not the other way around
And I'm with Apple's decision 100%
Regarding Brother Muhammad, who says a rate of 30% is high
Tara Google takes the same percentage and has also removed the game from its store.
Regarding your device, it is really your right, and it is just what you want, but the system is not yours, but that belongs to Apple, and I gave you this system for free in your device and provided you with protection ..
Beautiful and fair to all 👍🏼
Apple is a vile company and acts selfishly
How contemptible and she seeks her right
Imagine you are trading a store while I am making money from it, and after a while, I will not pay you and file a case against you
Are you going to kick me out of the store or not?

If he does, he is despicable and acts selfish
The percentage of XNUMX% is very huge .. I buy the iPhone with money, I do it without wanting. Apple has no right to control the iPhone and apply any conditions after it has been sold.
For your information, the percentage is 30%, but after a year, it drops to 15%.
By opening a kiosk in your shop and by paying the rent that suits me against you, otherwise a case will be filed against you
Hahaha, IPIC and children's behavior
Frankly. I am for Apple Resolution XNUMX/XNUMX regardless of all. Because Apple gives place to APIC within the App Store and connects these applications to all iOS users
Fortnite is a free and honestly great game. But, honestly, IPIC sells graphics to players, meaning slots and weapon machines are nothing but epic graphics and you get big money. If IPIC were sincere about it wanting the best interests of the players. It would have lowered the price of the packages
30% commission is not a big thing compared to what companies earn, development teams, teams, monitoring committees, and a free system (without even paid ads, unlike Android, which finds pop-fi ads anywhere) and your game reaches every user for iOS and more.
IPIC proved to be a childish-minded company with these actions
another thing. Apple was showing its devices with Dark Sol games. But do not forget that this review brings players to those games of benefit were in the interest of both parties
From a personal reality and point of view (I am not interested in what is going on between the two companies because I am not addicted to games and I do not waste my time playing), but I hope that the compatibility between them will be so that the games lovers are happy
Nobody knows
Perhaps the two companies will reconcile and become in a strong relationship better than before
