Epic Games has become locked in a legal battle with both Apple and Google over Fortnite after the battle royale devs made it possible for players to buy V-Bucks in-game for a cheaper price than going through the normal app store steps. Since then, the uber-popular title has been taken down off both the Apple App Store and Google Plays store, meaning that new players can\u2019t download it and updates are tough to push out. Even though it\u2019s not completely terrible news for Android owners as they can use different stores and ways to download updates, it\u2019s pretty bad for Apple users. So much so that Ali-A admits it \u201csucks\u201d for the latter group. In his latest video, the popular YouTuber dissected the ongoing situation for Fortnite mobile players. He noted that Epic have already committed to keeping Fortnite alive on Apple in its Season 3 state, but beyond that, nothing is changing. \u201cIt could honestly be, worst-case scenario here, months and months before Fortnite returns to normality on Apple devices,\u201d the YouTuber added. \u201cI hate to say it, but that is the biggest reality.\u201d Ali further noted that once Chapter 2, Season 4 starts to roll out, Android users will be able to head to Epic\u2019s website and find out where they can download the new update. \u201cIt\u2019s literally just the iOS players who are going to be left behind,\u201d he said. Obviously, Epic and Apple could end their dispute at any point, but given that Epic CEO Tim Sweeney went after the hardware giants in a Tweet thread, that might not happen anytime soon. So, as Ali-A notes, it does \u201csuck\u201d that it\u2019s looking unlikely that iOS players will be unable to play Season 4, but it isn\u2019t a complete death knell for Fortnite on mobile devices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ali-A reveals what \u201csucks\u201d about Fortnite iOS situation Turtle Beach\/Epic GamesPopular YouTuber Ali-A has discussed why the Fortnite vs Apple situation \u201csucks\u201d for iOS users, but why it won\u2019t be the end of the battle royale on mobiles.
