      Biden Campaign Trolls Trump by Snapping Up ‘Keep America Great’ Website, Which Claims to Detail President’s Failures
      By Todd Spangler from Variety

      Joe Biden has turned one of President Trump’s pet slogans, “Keep America Great,” against the current occupant of the White House with a new website.

      The Biden-Harris 2020 campaign earlier this summer bought the rights to the keepamericagreat.com domain name and this week launched the site, which documents 12 of Trump’s alleged “promises made, promises broken.”

      “Trump isn’t looking for a second term — he’s looking for a do-over,” the Biden campaign’s new site says.

      The site then lists multiple issues that Trump had pledged to tackle but didn’t deliver on, according to the Biden campaign, including COVID-19; the economy and jobs; immigration; foreign policy; veterans affairs; education; health care; and infrastructure and technology. Keepamericagreat.com also encourages visitors to enter their email address to “stay up to date on President Trump’s failures.”

      The keepamericagreat.com domain was previously owned by billionaire Tom Steyer, the Democratic presidential hopeful, who had emblazoned the site with anti-Trump messages, including “Trump is a fraud & a failure” and “BEAT TRUMP: HE’S A CONMAN, A CROOK, AND A CRIMINAL.”

      Biden announced keepamericagreat.com in a tweet Thursday, as Trump was delivering his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention. “Donald Trump promised to be the greatest jobs president God ever created,” Biden said. “Instead, tens of millions of Americans are out of work and we’re facing the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. #PromisesBroken”

      Donald Trump promised to be the greatest jobs president God ever created.

      Instead, tens of millions of Americans are out of work and we're facing the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. #PromisesBroken https://t.co/JzjZu7KKRr

      — Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) August 28, 2020

      “Keep America Great” is a semi-official slogan of the Trump-Pence re-election campaign, with dozens of products including hats, T-shirts, hoodies, flags, bumper stickers and beer koozies listed for sale on its site.

      In response to the Biden campaign’s new website, a Trump 2020 campaign rep told Politico, “You can buy all the domain names you want, but Joe Biden can’t ever buy a way out of his 47 years’ worth of failure in elected office.”

      Trump’s speech accepting the Republican Party’s nomination for president Thursday night was staged on the White House’s South Lawn. That was another apparent violation by the RNC of the federal Hatch Act, which prohibits federal employees from taking “an active part in political management or in political campaigns.”

      In another bid to troll Trump, the Biden campaign ran a two-minute ad Thursday on major TV networks (including Fox News) just prior to the president’s RNC acceptance speech Thursday. The “Keep Up” ad also is slated to air over the weekend in battleground states.

      Apple Terminates ‘Fortnite’ Maker Epic Games’ Developer Account
      By Todd Spangler from Variety

      Apple has officially booted “Fortnite” and other Epic Games titles off the App Store: On Friday, the tech giant suspended the games company’s developer account amid their ongoing legal brawl.

      The suspension of Epic’s developer account means that users can’t download “Fortnite” (or other Epic games) from the Apple App Store or update them. Apple’s action comes after a court issued a temporary restraining order Monday, Aug. 24, that prohibits Apple from blocking Epic’s App Store account for the Unreal Engine, which is used by third-party game makers, but leaving the door open for Apple to freeze out the popular “Fortnite” app.

      Epic sued Apple and Google on Aug. 13, alleging they engage in anticompetitive conduct by imposing “unlawful” restrictions to monopolize their app platforms. That came after Epic announced it was giving “Fortnite” users a 20% discount if they purchased in-app game currency directly, bypassing the Apple and Google app stores (which both keep 30% of in-app transactions under their standard terms), leading Apple and Google to ban “Fortnite” from their stores.

      In a statement Friday, Apple said: “We are disappointed that we have had to terminate the Epic Games account on the App Store. We have worked with the team at Epic Games for many years on their launches and releases. The court recommended that Epic comply with the App Store guidelines while their case moves forward, guidelines they’ve followed for the past decade until they created this situation. Epic has refused.”

      Apple alleged that Epic had repeatedly submitted “Fortnite” updates “designed to violate the guidelines of the App Store. This is not fair to all other developers on the App Store and is putting customers in the middle of their fight. We hope that we can work together again in the future, but unfortunately that is not possible today.”

      Apple had warned Epic that it would pull its developer account if it didn’t back down from its attempts with “Fortnite” to circumvent the rules requiring the use of Apple’s in-app payment system.

      Asked for comment, an Epic Games rep referred to the company’s previous statement, in which it said in part that Apple’s proposal “is an invitation for Epic to collude with Apple to maintain their monopoly over in-app payments on iOS, suppressing free market competition and inflating prices. As a matter of principle, we won’t participate in this scheme.”

      Because of the feud, the latest update to “Fortnite” — Chapter 2 Season 4 — is currently not available for iPhone, iPad or Mac platforms. The latest season features a tie-in with Disney’s Marvel (pictured above), in which “not only have the Marvel Heroes and Villains landed on the island, but so have their iconic locations,” Epic Games said in announcing Chapter 2 Season 4.

      The latest update to “Fornite” is available for Android via the Epic Games app for Android or the Samsung Galaxy Store, as well as on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PCs.
