Kevin Gammill, General Manager of Gaming Developer Experience της Microsoft, αναφέρει τη σημασία του Unreal Engine of Epic and what would happen if Apple chooses to cut off access to developer tools.
He says the Unreal Engine is a "critical technology for many game developers, including Microsoft" as it provides "graphics, rending, physics, sound and other technologies that work across multiple platforms".
