#2I gotta say, this is outright spiteful on Epic's behalf. Not necessarily bad, but it's always interesting to watch when companies make things personal like this. It's almost certainly more trouble than it's financially worth to relaunch Fortnite's iOS build in a single country, but I suppose we're here to see how they react.

#3If they violated rules previously and got booted (and then sued in a very public battle), why would they be allowed back?

This is the same company that nuked their money-printer of a mobile game to prove a point.

Exactly this. They wouldn't be unless Apple decides to do a 180 on booting them.

Because Apple is legally required to remove the rule they violated.

#8Does anyone have specific details on if the Korea law[0], which Epic is using as a basis for this request[1], has the ability to make apple reinstate Epic's account? Since the ban happened long before this law was even proposed, it wouldn't seem like the law would be retroactive.

Really? Of all the countries in the world, Korea is probably the most fanatical about gaming, and the payoff for getting Fortnite into the Apple Store would be considerable.
