I can’t access the article due to an ad consent wall.

Huh, works for me with ublock origin on mobile. Haven’t tried on desktop. Here’s an archive link though: archive.today/9C9RD

How does one find archive versions of articles?

You can go here: archive.ph

And enter the URL. It will either be saved, or not, and will ask if you want to save it

Apple doing malicious compliance.

What’s the point of a third party app store if devs still need to be approved by Apple?

Hope they get fined

In short, don’t expect to see an iOS version of the Epic Games Store or an iOS return for Fortnite anytime soon (although the latter continues to be available on the platform via Xbox Cloud Gaming)

Missing the fact that Apple is cutting off PWAs in the EU, which Xbox Cloud Gaming relies on due to Apples ridiculous rules.

FYI they backtracked on that, now requiring PWAs to run on webkit

That’s something I suppose.

Would that put any restrictions to use Unreal Engine in App Store, since it includes code from a banned developer?

I hope not, cause it would be a really dumb move.
