Perry wrote in an email to Epic published by Sweeney. “In light of this and other statements since the court’s decision, coupled with Epic’s duplicitous conduct in the past, Apple has exercised its discretion not to reinstate Epic’s developer program at this time,” Apple lawyer Mark A. (The account, which gives developers access to Apple tools, was suspended last year, which sparked the lawsuit.) Sweeney tweeted Wednesday that Apple has declined the request to reinstate the developer program account. Though Epic Games has appealed the court’s ruling in the Apple case, Sweeney promised that Epic Games would “adhere to Apple’s guidelines” should the company get its developer account back. Sweeney said that Apple’s decision could keep Fortnite off iOS and Mac platforms for as long as five years as the appeals process plays out. “Apple spent a year telling the world, the court, and the press they’d ‘welcome Epic’s return to the App Store if they agree to play by the same rules as everyone else.’ Epic agreed, and now Apple has reneged in another abuse of its monopoly power over a billion users.” Following a ruling in Fortnite creator Epic Games’ lawsuit against Apple, Epic CEO Tim Sweeney says Apple will blacklist Fortnite from its ecosystem until its appeals process makes the judgment final.
