    No law in the country can force Apple to do business with Epic on the App Store. I’m kinda hoping Apple dig in their heels and just never let them come back in. Fads come and go, Fortnite May have gone the way of Angry Birds by the time all this is over. 

    And had Apple taken gaming seriously a decade ago they would have wiped Epic from the face of the Earth. I wanna see Apple create a unified Apple Engine for game developers.
    Some of us don't want to see Unreal Engine go away. What you guys are missing is that part of the reason we have so many games on macOS/iOS is because Unreal Engine and Unity will *also* compile for those platforms on top of Windows/Linux/XBox/Playstation/Android. Not to mention the amount of realtime film production now being done using Unreal and other XR, animation, previz, etc applications outside of gaming altogether. 

    Anyway, losing the Mac userbase is very little concern for Epic, it's probably less than 1% of their revenue.

    "If the Unreal Engine can no longer support Apple platforms, the software developers that use it will be forced to use alternatives. The damage to Epic’s ongoing business and to its reputation and trust with its customers will be unquantifiable and irreparable. Preliminary injunctive relief is necessary to prevent Apple from crushing Epic before this case could ever get to judgment.”

    That’s my target lol

    In terms of the Epic shenanigans I feel that the worst case scenario is that the courts allow Fortnite back in the app-store as long as it adheres to the agreement until any final courts decisions. So worst case Apple keep making money from Fortnite purchases... I get the feeling Epic wouldn’t put the app back though, they’d rather cut off their own nose is my guess.


    Apple should use that money to fund their own game studio. It's sad Apple has the biggest gamin store in the world yet serious gamers don't take it serious.

    Yeah I’m sure if Apple got serious about gaming they would have done a lot more. They are prob doing fine without gaming as a focus, it just does not seem to be a part of the company’s DNA. They prioritise other endeavours such as Health I guess...

    Now it's biting them in the ass though. Like when Google stole iPhone technology and used Google Maps as leverage.

    "Fortnite should put the actual rap songs behind the dances that make so much money as Emotes. Black creatives created and popularized these dances but never monetized them. Imagine the money people are spending on these Emotes being shared with the artists that made them
    — Chance The Rapper Album in July (@chancetherapper) ;July 13, 2018"

    Epic stole dance moves from popular black artists and sold them to kids for a profit. The artists did not receive a penny or recognition for their work.
