Is this an answer vs. Apple?
We all heard about the recent legal battle between Apple and Fortnite's developer Epic Games. As of now, this has not yet ended.
But rumors say that the new Fortnite-themed Switch console could be the answer of Epic against Apple. After all, Apple's App Store first removed the battle-royale game to their system due to an in-game payment conflict.
So far, Tech Times has reported that Apple did an 'indefinite extension' of 'Sign in with Apple' support for Epic Games accounts, which was originally planned to end after Friday, Sept. 11.
UPDATE: Apple previously stated they would terminate “Sign In with Apple” support for Epic Games accounts after Sept 11, 2020, but today provided an indefinite extension. We still recommend you prepare your accounts now for “Sign In with Apple” removal. https://t.co/hUDCKcajGo — Epic Games Store (@EpicGames) September 10, 2020
Epic Games told the media that they have no idea about the extended 'Sign in' format of Apple. However, the company still said in a tweet that players should now look for alternatives from the App Store.
Epic recommends users to prepare their accounts to remove the option and go with Epic's email log-in option instead.
