If I go to the App Store on my phone, and go to my "Purchased" list, Fortnite is still listed there. I wasn't up to date, and clicking on "update" gives the message:

    "Fortnite" No Longer Available. The developer has removed this app from the App Store.

Interesting wording. I wonder if they only have one message for pulled-by-Apple vs pulled-by-dev?

To me it feels just poor wording, like often in the app store.

To me it feels like borderline libel, but I doubt you could prove damages.
