A tweet from
Phil Spencer shares a
Statement from Microsoft filed in court to support Epic Games related to
their
lawsuit against Apple over app store
royalties (thanks
IGN). Microsoft makes the case for Epic's request to retain access to the
Apple SDK for the Unreal Engine. In short:
Denying Epic access to Appleās
SDK and other development tools will prevent Epic from supporting Unreal Engine
on iOS and macOS, and will place Unreal Engine and those game creators that have
built, are building, and may build games on it at a substantial disadvantage.
