Apple applauds court for denying Epic Games' request to restore 'Fortnite'
cornchip said:I realize this is going to be a dumb question, but I don’t exactly understand how the Unreal Engine thing is working on a technical level.I get that Epic owns/maintains “Unreal”, but how was Apple able to restrict access to it for other developers? But then turn it back on? Without turning back on Fortnite? And is Unreal available to Android devs too? Did the restriction also affect them?Very in the dark on this one...Epic has shell companies. So from who, as an developer that has an Apple account, would you get the rights to use Unreal engine in your game?Remember Unreal engine is used for other things than games. -
Epic Games wanted a special deal for 'Fortnite' on the App Store

But, call me a puritanical old fart, but the idea of people spending their days playing and developing games instead of making a real contribution strikes me quite negatively.
So, I'm predisposed to wanting to see Epic go under -- the less people waste their time the better.
Well Epic is not going under. Unreal engine is used in virtual video systems for broadcasting like CNN and sports coverage and film production.
