Why a judge said NO to #FreeFortnite on iOS
Epic and Apple met up in court earlier this week after Apple threatened to revoke iOS developer access for Unreal Engine on August 28. Epic filed an emergency request to stop them, and the hearing was more entertaining than we expected…but we can’t show it to you. So we re-enacted it. Fortnite declares war on…

For the record, my favorite Fall Guys costume is a tie between the hamburger and the Portal P-Body!

I think epic will lose popular opinion because many people have Apple stocks.

For AAA game development on Console and PC unity is rarely considered, now for Mobile game dev Unity is a better choice. Unity also has expensive multi-tiered subscriptions.
Godot is not designed for AAA game development.
Unigine from Mother Russia isn’t exactly popular.
Cryengine ironically is quite outdated feature wise.
Lumberyard is just an older version of Cryengine.
So one can see why UE is one of the most popular subscription/ cost free game engines out there, used in AAA and indie game dev alike.

Apple and Google should buy Epic (to avoid incuring legal costs) and end the lawsuit.
Buy no brainer bullet proof cash rich companies:
I bought Facebook, Microsoft, Google, Wells Fargo, eBay, Netflix, Home Depot, Lowe’s, Intel
TRUST THE PROCESS.

Epic is dead wrong, they knew the rules going into this. Each company says standards no different than purchasing a game license, when you buy a game it’s not saying that you’re buying the game you’re purchasing a license to play that game. Apple created the App Store, epic has the ability to sell their software and subscriptions online. Apple pay is to maintain the service that they created an epic wants to be able to dictate how much they should charge for a service that they did not create. If you don’t want to do business with Apple then take your game somewhere else, create your own store but you can’t come in to someone else’s house and start making the rules. It’s not an Apple or Google tax it’s simply the cost of doing business, but people like to be so dramatic when they talk about companies who are really good at handling business. Just because you didn’t think of it doesn’t make the people who did wrong. It’s called capitalism but because you can’t figure out a way to circumvent it you want to call it a monopoly. Grow up

I feel like people are like “Apple bad” just because they can’t play Fortnite on iOS and because Epic Games is like “Fortnite is a juman right and society can’t exist without it” without really understanding both parts reasons and statements and making conscious opinions
