So Epic has really gone all-in on fighting against Apple here, huh? The company is using Fortnite as a wedge in hopes of bringing down some of Apple's tech monopoly when it comes to its app store. And... on this point, yes, Epic is probably right. Apple is definitely not a good company, and it has some policies that should...

As Amazon's New World winds down its late-summer preview event, the studio has a new dev blog up, admitting it's been "humbled" by the player response to the event and discussing the game's next steps - specifically, its next testing phase and what types of content it'll be adding.
