Users of Epic Games accounts will no longer be able to use Apple Pull ID when signing in to games like Fortnight and Gears of War.
Epic claims this is because Apple has banned users from using Apple Pul ID to sign in to any Epic Games accounts, with a ban imposed from “September 11, 2020”.
Because of this restriction, Epic posted on its website that any Apple Pull ID users need to update their email addresses and passwords to make sure they can still log in.
If Apple Pull ID users are unable to update their accounts, Epic said users will be able to contact the company to recover the accounts manually.
The decision to ban the use of Apple Pull ID for Epic Games accounts is the latest and most recent between the two companies, when Epic implemented an in-app payment system in Fortnight to prevent a 30% commission fee payment period in app markets. , Such as the App Store and Google Play Store.

This led both Apple and Google to remove Fortnight from their respective markets, saying that Epic violated its obligation to stay in the app markets.
Epic then applauded by filing a lawsuit against Google and Google, accusing tech giants of being competitive and monopolistic due to the 30% commission fee structure.
“Apple Pal has become what it once protested against: threatening to control markets, stifle competition and curb innovation. Apple Pal is bigger, more powerful, more penetrating, and more dangerous than yard monopolies. A market of about $ 2. The trillion, the size and reach of the Apple moment on the cap is greater than any technical monopoly in history, ”Epic said in the original claim.
Since that lawsuit, Apple Play has terminated Epic’s app developer account and raised its own lawsuit against Epic, alleging that the game developer tried to pay nothing for the value of being in the App Store.
“By charging a commission on the sale of game developers and charging customers up to 99.99.” Charging for the bundle “cannot be reconciled with the explicit breach of the contract and its own business dealings with the special treatment of ‘Apical’ and the demand for ‘retention’. ‘, “Apple Play said in its response.
Epic, meanwhile, issued a restraining order last Friday on a demand to put Fortnight back in the App Store.
The next hearing for the Apple Pul-Epic Games legal imprint is set for later this month.
