Umshicileli wegeyimu ushintshe uhlelo lokukhokha lomdlalo wakhe odumile i-Fortnite esekela ukuthola inkokhelo eqondile yokuthengwa kwangaphakathi nohlelo. Ngemuva kwalokho, iGoogle neApple basuse amaFortnite ku-Google Play Isitolo naku-App Store, ngokulandelana.
Inhloso eyodwa yama-Epic Games kwakuwukuphonsela inselelo ukwabiwa okuphethwe ngabakwa-Apple neGoogle ku-Android naku-iOS. Vele impikiswano iye enkantolo, kepha i-Apple akubonakali ukuthi izolinda isinqumo. Imidlalo yama-Epic kubikwa ukuthi iphakamise i-alamu yokuthi i-Apple isabise ngokuqeda ukwesekwa kwe-Unreal Engine ku-ecosystem yayo uma ingahambisani nezinqubomgomo eziphikisayo ze-App Store.
I-Unreal Injini iyinjini yemidlalo yamahhala ethandwa kakhulu ngabashicileli bamageyimu futhi isetshenziswa ngabathuthukisi abaningi emhlabeni jikelele, phakathi kokunye, abathumela injini ukuthuthukisa imidlalo yezinkundla ezahlukahlukene. Uma i-Apple ilahla ukusekelwa kwe-Unreal Engine, abathuthukisi ngeke bakwazi ukulungisa amaphutha ezokuphepha noma ukulungisa iziphazamiso.
Lokhu kungathinta izinhlobo ezahlukahlukene zemidlalo ye-iOS ne-MacOS, kufaka phakathi i-Microsoft Forza. Ngisho nemidlalo esevisi yokubhalisa ye-Apple i-Apple Arcade incike ku-Unreal Engine. Uma i-Apple iphendula i-Unreal Engine, laba bathuthukisi bazolwela ukudala imidlalo emisha ye-iOS noma benze izibuyekezo. Umonakalo uzodlulela ngale kohlelo lwe-Apple ecosystem, njengoba ukuthandwa kwe-Unreal Engine kungenxa yokuxhaswa kwayo ngamapulatifomu amaningi angeke esaba nenzuzo futhi ezoheha amakhasimende kwezinye izixazululo ezincintisanayo.
U-Apple unikeze i-Epic umnqamulajuqu ka-Agasti 28 ukuthi "uxazulule ukwephulwa kwesivumelwano" ngaphambi kokuthi kuqhubeke futhi kumiswe wonke ama-akhawunti wonjiniyela we-Epic futhi kunqabe ukufinyelela kumathuluzi wokuthuthukisa i-iOS ne-Mac. Kuze kube manje, i-Epic Games ifake isiphakamiso noma isivimbelo ku-Apple, okuyisinyathelo okubikwa ukuthi sisekelwa yiMicrosoft ukuxhasa isiphakamiso sika-Epic sokuvimbela i-Apple.
I-Epic Games ikholelwa ukuthi ukuhlaselwa kuka-Apple kusukile kuFortnite kuya kulo lonke ibhizinisi lenkampani ezindaweni ezingahlobene, yize zilawulwa ngezivumelwano ezihlukile futhi ziqhutshwa yizinhlangano zomthetho ezihlukile.
Sekusele ukuthi inkantolo ithathe isinqumo ngesinyathelo esilandelayo sokusebenza. Kungenzeka ukuthi kunabathuthukisi abambalwa bomdlalo laphaya abafuna ukubona lokhu kuhamba ngomzila we-Epic. Siyethemba ukuthi lokhu kuzokwenziwa ngokushesha okukhulu.
