U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers has issued a restraining order against Apple which will temporarily prevent them from denying Epic Games access to the Apple Developer Program and the iOS version of the Unreal Engine.
“I am not inclined to grant relief with respect to the games,” said Judge Rogers at the start of the hearing (as reported by The Verge). “But I am inclined to grant relief with respect to the Unreal Engine.”
The distinction between Epic’s battle with Apple over the Unreal Engine and their disputes over Fortnite‘s transaction fees is an important one. As Judge Rogers later noted in her statements, it’s a distinction that changes the nature of who is impacted by the actions of both parties.
“Epic Games and Apple are at liberty to litigate against each other, but their dispute should not create havoc to bystanders,” says Judge Rogers.
