Epic Games achieved a significant legal victory against Apple, with Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ruling that Apple willfully violated antitrust injunctions regarding pricing. The ruling opens the door for Fortnite's return to the U.S. App Store as early as next week. Rogers emphasized Appleâs blatant disregard for legal compliance, referring the matter to U.S. authorities for possible criminal contempt action. Epic's CEO, Tim Sweeney, suggested that resolving the ongoing litigation depends on Apple's global adoption of the court's pricing framework, posing a strategic proposition for both companies.
