It seems that the war between Apple and Epic is not going anywhere. Recently, Fortnite got an update which circumvented the 30% cut of Apple and Google on their respective stores by allowing the gamers to purchase directly from Apple. Soon after the update, Apple removed Fortnite from App Store, in response to which, Epic filed a lawsuit against Apple, but that was not the end of it. Google soon followed suit and removed Fortnite from Google Play Store. The trail soon went cold after that but the recent report from Epic Games shows that it is far from over.

Just a few minutes ago, Epic Games Newsroom tweeted how aside from removing the game from the App Store, Apple has also informed Epic that on August 28th, later this month, all their developer accounts are being terminated, and Epic is also being cut off from all iOS and Mac development tools. Moreover, Epic has asked the court to stop the retaliation. You can check out the official Tweet below.
