If Apple barred Epic from accessing its developer tools, the iOS platform would no longer support the Unreal Engine. That would be potentially ruinous for…

It didn’t take long for things to blow. About five hours after Epic announced its new pricing model and payment option, Apple summarily removedfrom the iOS store, citing the pay scheme as an infraction of its terms of service. “Today, Epic Games took the unfortunate step of violating the App Store guidelines that are applied equally to every developer and designed to keep the store safe for our users,” Apple said in a statement issued to the press that afternoon.

Apple was quick to strike back — and it struck back hard. Just days after the suit was filed, Apple announced to Epic in a letter that it was giving the developer two weeks to “cure their breaches” in the agreement with the company.

About five hours after Epic Games announced its new pricing model and payment option, Apple summarily removed Fortnite from the iOS store, citing the pay scheme as an infraction of its terms of service.If Apple were to bar Epic from accessing its developer tools, effectively locking it out of the backend and preventing it from making updates, adding tweaks, or working on the software in any way, the iOS platform would no longer support the Unreal Engine.

A judge presiding over the case decided in Epic’s favour on these grounds — partly. Apple has been permitted to continue keepingoff of iOS, but it cannot, for the time being anyhow, remove Epic’s access to developer tools. “Epic Games and Apple are at liberty to litigate against each other, but their dispute should not create havoc to bystanders,” the judge determined.

Peloton sales surge 172 per cent as pandemic bolsters home fitness industryAt-home fitness company Peloton announced its first-ever quarterly profit, which was bolstered by a 172 per cent surge in sales and more than 1 million people subscribing to its streaming classes. So today 32501 tests in Ontario with 213 positives results, for 0.66% tested positive and 99.34% tested negative. Actually better than yesterday, but panic is holding. PCR test is useless, this means there is no virus out there . PERIOD. Stop scaring everybody!! So now includes product placement / advertisements in news stories? Why not just state 'fitness industry' vs singling out one supplier?
