Tim Sweeney Suggests 'Fake Adware Version' of Fortnite to iOS Users Approved by Apple
Epic Games' CEO, Tim Sweeney, humorously advises iOS users to try a fake version of Fortnite that has been accepted by Apple, casting doubt on the unavailability of the real game in the App Store.
The ongoing feud between Epic Games and Apple has reached new heights as Tim Sweeney, the CEO of Epic, has taken a cheeky stance on the matter. Following Apple’s refusal to allow Fortnite back into the iOS App Store, Sweeney suggested users explore other options, pointing to questionable alternatives that emphasize the absurdity of the situation.
Last month, a legal ruling prevented Apple from charging groups a commission from purchases made outside its app, which complicates Fortnite’s return to the App Store. Despite expectations, Fortnite remains inaccessible on iOS—an irony not lost on Sweeney.
In a recent tweet, he stated:
“Update: Apple has taken down Fort Battle Royale Epic Shoot. Players looking for a fake adware version of Fortnite on the App Store should instead try Epic Survival Battle Royale 3D Clash Squad Battle Royale 3D, approved by Apple.”
This satirical take highlights Sweeney’s frustration with Apple’s restrictions even as it allows imitations of the beloved franchise without issue. The debate continues, with Sweeney using humor to critique Apple’s stance while keeping the conversation alive around the ongoing gaming saga.
