In exchange, we kumtux taken our tribute, our profits, our control. This power is ours as able-bodied as ours alone. We shall prevail."
As he says that aftermost line (which is likewise acclimated in Apple's ad), a woman throws a Fortnite pickaxe at the screen, invoking the paradigmatic image from the "1984" commercial of a woman throwing a haymaker at the screen.
After the pickaxe shatters the screen, a bulletin scrolls up: "Epic Games has defied the App Store Monopoly. In retaliation, National is blocking Fortnite from a billion devices. Spoor the fight to stop 2020 from concedable "1984." As able-bodied as then, the hashtag #FreeFortnite appears.
