Fortnite Drama – The TouchArcade Show #457

In this week’s episode of The TouchArcade Show, we go HARD as a ham into the Fortnite drama of the week. Will Apple relent and allow Epic to put the game back in the App Store without changes? More importantly, will this lead to a broader industry change regarding digital app stores and will we eventually be able to sideload apps onto our iOS devices? Regardless of the outcome, that was a juicy troll job from Epic. Of course we also hit on all the big mobile gaming news of

If you were hungry for some iOS 14 hot takes, ARM Mac hot takes, and similar… This is the episode for you. Apologies in advance if audio is a little weird, we had some minor technical issues that I tried pretty hard to fix in post. I only mention it because I’m a weirdo perfectionist.
