Epic Games, his company Fortnite, continues the controversy against Apple policy, and apparently has a new supporter.
A lawsuit filed by Microsoft states that Apple's latest threat to cut off access to Epic Games from Apple developer tools would harm their business (Reuters)
Kevin Gammill, General Manager of Gaming Developer Microsoft's Experience, mentions its importance Unreal Epic Engine 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".
Most importantly, however, Gammill points out that many developers do not "have the resources or capabilities to build their own game engine and use third-party engines."
What does this mean for the future of Epic Games and Microsoft games?
If Epic's Unreal Engine can't support games for iOS and macOS, Microsoft should choose or leave customer support on the iOS and macOS platforms or choose a different engine to develop new gamea.
