Yesterday, September 22, Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeny accused Apple of keeping Fortnite off of its devices. After a lengthy legal battle, Apple had promised to allow Epic Games to return to the IOS platform if they agreed to play by their rules. However, Tim Sweeny has accused them of lying and not honouring the promise.

In a tweet, he said, “Apple spent a year telling the world, the court, and the press they’d ‘welcome Epic’s return to the App Store if they agree to play by the same rules as everyone else’. Epic agreed, and now Apple has reneged in another abuse of its monopoly power over a billion users.”

Elsewhere, The Long Dark is getting its next chapter. Episode 4 takes place in a snowy prison.
