Title: Fortnite Returns To Apple US App Store After 5-Year Ban

Link: https://apple.slashdot.org/story/25/05/21/043...

Fortnite has returned to Apple's App Store in the United States after a
nearly five-year absence, marking a significant victory for Epic Games in its
protracted legal battle against Apple's App Store policies. The return
follows an April 30 ruling where a federal judge determined Apple violated a
court order requiring the company to allow greater competition for app
downloads and payment methods, referring Apple to federal prosecutors for a
criminal contempt investigation. Epic CEO Tim Sweeney celebrated on X with a
simple "We back fam" message. The game, which had 116 million users on
Apple's platform before its 2020 removal, was banned after Epic challenged
Apple's practice of charging up to 30% commission on in-app payments as
anticompetitive.
