My goal is just to have a community where people can go and see what new game news is out for the day and comment on it.
Other communities:
TBH, I'm kind of happy this is happening, with such a big game too. Kids will learn the hard way that they don't own online-only games they paid for, and can't trust on Apple, Epic and other such providers to keep content they bough available.
It's being pushed on all of us as the norm, so things like that might actually help the game preservation cause.
It’s not clear that this is Apple’s doing as even third party stores took the game down. Tim Sweeney is such a shit eating petty asshole that I can believe he ordered it just to rile people up.
Maybe the Saudis bought it on a whim
Apple released a statement. It was, as expected, Epic who took it down worldwide. Apple only blocked it Stateside.

We need to bring back the normalization of community servers and LAN.
Oh no…not Fortnite.
Time to antitrust Apple and break them up. They grew too large for their own britches.
I don't care for either side but it's fun to watch it all unfold.
I don't either but the implications for consumers and developers alike around the world are extremely impactful so I'm in Epic's corner.
I'm actually with apple on this one.
I think they both suck, but it's always great when there are barriers preventing businesses from taking full advantage of their idiot customers. The more friction, the better.
We need to keep in mind this is all so developers can maximize profit off of our low standards.
Let's stop going to bat for the people taking us for a ride.

Not sure if some sort of shitty joke/troll or you're legitimately just a bootlicker.

No, this is so we can stop Apple from abusing their monopoly to maximize profits from our low standards.

Lol, funny watching you completely exonerate developers shoving microtransactions in their games.
It really puts into perspective the kind of consumer you are.
...I said literally nothing about microtransactions?
…I said literally nothing about microtransactions?
This whole debacle is about apple getting a cut from microtransactions sold in games on their app store and epic not wanting to give it to them.
This is about both developers trying to profit off of our (your) low standards, but you're only blaming apple.

No, it isn't, it's about Apple taking a cut of ALL transactions.
but you're only blaming apple
No idea what makes you think that. Apple taking a cut does not prevent devs from implementing microtransactions. The two have nothing to do with each other.
There's absolutely no reason Apple should have anything at all to do with transactions (or anything else for that matter) that take place outside of their app store.
I want Epic to win, but I don't mind if they suffer in the meantime.
I hope iOS users get unrestricted access just in time for Fortnite's business model to become illegal.
Again.
Illegally.
