Over the past week, the crypto market has taken a hit due to the usual Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD) surrounding the potential for interest rate hikes and future regulations.

Less than a year ago in a small town in Switzerland, there was hope and optimism that crypto was finally breaking into the global financial system and a bright future awaited. That small town is Davos, home to the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF). This year the mood is far less optimistic as the ongoing FTX saga continues to cast its long shadows across the conference. Crypto is still represented along the Promenade, the road outside the main convention center, however this time it’s more heavily focused

It was a big day on March 12, 2018, in Cary, North Carolina, as Epic Games geared up for its next big announcement: Fortnite was coming to mobile. The battle royale title had grown significantly over the preceding months, transforming Epic into one of the biggest companies in the world.  The mobile launch added another layer to that rise and tapped into a larger audience than many PC or console games had lured in. The cultural phenomenon became apparent and Fortnite soon landed merchandising, music, and film collaborations, from hosting

Earlier today, Apple announced it will reduce the App Store commissions for smaller businesses so that developers earning less than $1 million per year pay a 15% commission on in-app purchases, rather than the standard 30% commission. Tim Sweeney, founder of Epic Games, says the move — an apparent reaction to current investigations into Apple by Congress, the European Union, the Justice Department and the Federal Trade Commission on antitrust grounds — doesn’t go nearly far enough.

U.S. District Court Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers has upheld earlier federal court rulings related to Fortnite and Unreal Engine. In late September Apple and Epic Games returned to court to argue whether the popular battle royale game should be reinstated to the Apple App Store for iOS devices, and if a preliminary injunction protecting game development software Unreal Engine should be lifted.  Rogers ruled Friday that the court’s previous determinations on both would remain; Fortnite would continue to be banned from iOS devices and Epic would continue to be protected
