(Reuters) - "Fortnite" creator Epic Games said on Thursday Apple Inc (O:AAPL) has given its users an "indefinite extension" to log into the game using an Apple sign-in system.

Apple and Epic Games have been in a legal tussle since August, when the maker of the popular video game launched its own in-app payment system, which was in violation of the iPhone maker's app store guidelines.

Epic had said on Wednesday that gamers would not be able to log into the game using their Apple sign-in credentials from Friday.

The company, however, warned gamers should prepare their accounts if the Apple sign-in option was removed.

becoming more than them selling their products. especially since they are so behind in innovation and design. releasing the same old products but throwing in some scraps for the fan boys. oooo 64g base model when I have a nano SIM 128g card already on my Android phone.
