Earlier this month, a ruling was handed down in the Apple vs. Epic Games case, with good and bad news for both parties. The Fortnite publisher did score at least one major victory, as the judge ruled Apple must let App Store devs link to alternative payment methods. That said, Apple won 9 of the 10 rulings in the case, with the judge rejecting the key notion that Apple is running a monopoly and forcing Epic to pay damages. Epic has since appealed the decision.

It also seems that any notion that Apple might want to smooth over tensions and allow Fortnite back on the App Store is right out the window. According to tweets from Epic CEO Tim Sweeney, Apple has indicated they’ll continue to blacklist Fortnite from the App Store until all appeals in the lawsuit are exhausted, which could take years. Check out Sweeney’s full Twitter spiel, below.
