Epic Games Says Daily Active Users Have Dropped 60%

>Epic Games late Friday asked a judge to make Apple reinstate Fortnite on the App Store, arguing that daily active users have decreased by 60% since the massively popular game was removed.

Alright, Epicbros, how do we help uncle Tim?

If he really lopped off 60% of his cashcow because he couldn't contain his autism at being told "no we wont give you more money for fortnite", then I really have to wonder how long the rest of epic investors are willing to keep him at the helm.

They still have a die hard brainwashed fanbase from consoles and pc, royalties from UE and tencent funding

They will be fine

They're probably using some bullshit metric to measure active users to skew the figures to get more sympathy, typical jew tricks.

Sweeney got exactly what he deserved

They should be glad active iOS users haven't dropped close to 100% at this point. The fact that they still have 40% of their Crapple playerbase while fucking banned from the store is impressive already.

>complain about losing 30% of microtransactions
>end up losing 38% of your playerbase
Nice job Timmy

I haven't really been paying attention, what did epic do to get pulled from the Apple store?

Fornite's iOS playerbase are on iPhone yes.

>Alright, Epicbros, how do we help uncle Tim?
by grabbing the launcher and downloading the free games every week.

Can someone give me a rundown of what happened between Epic and Apple? I remember seeing threads about this but I kinda lost track of what's been going on

>Broke TOS and bypassed Apple pay and google pay.
>When they got banned, they sued saying the law and history was on their side.
>Threw a huge fucking bitch fit on twitter for over a fucking week.
>After the bitch fit kicked into high gear with Epic mocking the famous Mac commercial, Apple said fuck it and removed Epics license completly, meaning no unreal engine game can be used on apple products
>Epic cried to a judge
>judge gave a stay on the engine because of how many people it fucks, but stressed it was temp. only and that more than likely the ban is legal as the courts have no right to force a company to allow a product on its product.
>Epic then continued on with its twitter crying, saying they dont need apple or google.
>Also played the "we are just trying to make the playing field fair" card while also pushing that they want their OWN epic launcher on apple as a second app store that apple will have 0 profit from
>While this is happening, Epic is repeatably trying to weaponize kids against apple, all while saying they dont need apple, apple needs THEM
>now they are crying to a judge saying they need apple
This has been the best shitshow in a long time.

Dumb question from someone mostly out of the loop on this stuff...Does Fortnite not have a single account for cross-play and such? Why couldn't they just set it up so you had to sign into the browser and buy the precious Vbucks through there?

He's doing it for us. To free us form the yoke of Apples monopoly or so I've been told.

See

Good start but fingers crossed it drops even further

Timmy is an embarrassment
Put that money and effort into funding actual games you retard, all you're doing is enriching lawyers and publishers with your failed attempts to undermine other stores

Yes:

>Epic says that iOS is the biggest platform for Fortnite with over 116 million registered users, almost a third of its 350 million registered users. Furthermore, Epic claims 63% of Fortnite players on iOS only access Fortnite on Apple devices.

>Epic is worried it "may never see these users again" and that its Fortnite community has been "torn apart." Additionally, since Apple has terminated Epic's developer account, its other games, and those players looking to play those titles, are also impacted.

Basically Tim fucked himself.

I'm praying everyday that they somehow end up killing each other for good. Just imagine a world without these two in it.

and now there's been riots in Portland and Washington

>Fortnite community has been "torn apart."
Yeah, I bet.

>daily active ios users
>ios users
yeah no shit you retard

How did anyone let Tim do this. How the FUCK did he think he had a case in court? He signed a fucking contract and violated it what more is there to understand? What kind of legal fuckery could he have pulled to win this?

OH my God at this point I know this idiot has nothing but China on his mind.

You say like you can't take corporations away from people with enough jewish law alchemy.

Epic's begging to be allowed back onto the store after blatantly breaking the to terms of service is the most pathetic shit I've ever seen from such a large company. This is next level retardation and embarrassment.

I'm picturing a big vacuum that's promptly filled by something worse than the two of them combined

kek, he thought his game was such big hot shit that Apple would bow to him in some way.

I'm sure to some extent they miss getting their 30% on those purchases, but otherwise they don't give a shit.

LMAO.
Also tell Sweeney to stop using a very young photo of himself for his twitter.

They have a ton of outside investors besides Sony and Tencent. I'm pretty sure Disney is one of them.

While I'm no champion of the makers of Fortnite, (also fuck Epic for abandoning Unreal Tournament), what he is saying about Apple ia absolutely correct.

Also, fuck Apple.

I find it even funnier that Epic went out of their way to get a bunch of 10 year olds on their side with the videos they made in the aftermath. As if children screeching on youtube and Twitter is going to win you a lawsuit

The courts already threw out his earlier claims of damages, since they were entirely self-inflicted. The only thing the judge did agree with was that banning UE4 from the app store altogether was unfair to 3rd party developers who have nothing to do with Tencent Timmy's autism.

>Alright, Epicbros, how do we help uncle Tim
don't

>60% of fortnite players are Apple babbies
What a surprise

There's way more at stake for Apple than just skimming off Fortnite. Sweeney was probably hoping he'd get a retarded pliable judge who'd fall for his faux-activist arguments. As it was he put Apple in a unnegotiable spot, they have to fight this with extreme prejudice or they'll lose control of their own store.

It's 60% of daily active IOS users, not total which, which is one of the points of their argument. Literally nobody itt even read the headline

How, why would so many people choose to play it on their phone

Apple knows his tencent masters are a major reason behind it, they hope Apple loses all of their cut of Tencent shit on mobile.

I think the thought process behind his scheme was good, but going at Google too was a bit much. Apple apparently makes the 3rd most revenue in gaming, yet doesn't make games. Its all cuts from the app store.

as much as i hate both epic and apple, tim sweeney got what he deserved

You really have no idea how few people own PCs these days huh
Most kids dont even know how to use them
