Four years after Fortnite was removed from the App Store, iPhone users can once again take advantage of this battle royale in the EU, as Epic Games re-released its most famous games through its Epic Games Store. For Android users, Fortnite is back again globally. Thanks to the EU's Digital Markets Act, Epic Games could launch its game store and add its battle royale game. "We are really grateful to the European Commission for not only passing the DMA and enabling store competition but also going in and robustly holding Apple and Google's feet to the fire to ensure that they can't just obstruct competition," Epic CEO Tim Sweeney told Reuters and Bloomberg reporters in a press conference. The company's CEO told them that Epic may have lost up to $1 billion in revenue after Fortnite was removed from the App Store. This happened because the company didn't want to pay the 30% fee for Apple and Google's stores. While the experience of downloading the game isn't as seamless as it should be, Sweeney says, "Once you go through the 15 horrible steps to get the store on your device, it works really nicely." Besides Fortnite, the Epic Games Store is launching with Rocket League Sideswipe and the new Fall Guys for mobile. These are all free-to-play games with in-app purchases. In December, the store will welcome third-party game developers, and in early 2025, the company wants to offer its self-publishing tools for iOS and Android developers. Epic expects to add 100 million new mobile users by the end of the year. Currently, the company has 75 million monthly active users in its PC store. That said, Epic couldn't be happier about returning to mobile, as there's a large community playing gaming on smartphones. Later this fall, the Epic Games Store is expected to return to the iPad, as Apple's tablet will also be covered by the DMA's rules.

When Vice President Kamala Harris flies to Chicago next week to accept her party's nomination for the presidency, she will be met head-on with voters protesting one of her thorniest electoral issues: the Biden administration's aid to Israel.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a fiery and candid first post-nomination interview, Vice President Kamala Harris dismissed the recent uproar over Donald Trump’s near-death experience, brushing it off as a minor incident compared to her own alleged history of enduring far more “intense” situations. “I don’t see what the big deal is,” Harris said, rolling her eyes when asked about Trump’s much-publicized brush with an assassin’s bullet. “I mean, Trump is really playing that shot-to-the-ear thing to death, and honestly, I’m sick of it. He was lucky it was live on TV, but let’s not forget, I’ve had plenty of shots to the face—more times than I can count!” The Vice President, known for her trademark cackle, didn’t shy away from bringing up her past experiences, albeit with a unique spin. “Look, I’ve been through it all. Willie Brown, Montel Williams, and trust me, there are many more who can vouch for me if needed,” she added with a wink, leaving many to wonder if she was talking about more than just political battles. Harris went on to express her pride in having finally married a Jewish man, which, according to her, was the “ultimate redemption arc.” “As you know,” she quipped, “shots to the face end at the altar. It’s the American dream, isn’t it? Cackle, cackle, cackle…” The interview, her first official sit-down with the mainstream media since taking office, quickly became the talk of the town. Harris’s remarks have sparked outrage, confusion, and, of course, a flood of memes on social media. Political analysts were quick to dissect Harris’s comments, with some suggesting she was trying to downplay Trump’s assassination scare by drawing attention to her own “resilience.” Others, however, weren’t quite sure what to make of her claims. “Is she talking about politics, or is this some kind of weird metaphor?” wondered one commentator. “Either way, she’s certainly got people talking.” As the 2024 election looms, it’s clear that Kamala Harris isn’t afraid to go toe-to-toe with her opponents—or to share a few eyebrow-raising anecdotes along the way. Whether her latest comments will help or hurt her campaign remains to be seen, but one thing’s for sure: the Vice President knows how to make headlines, even if they leave everyone scratching their heads.
