Wow! What will Disney do to Unreal Engine's pricing plan? Does Sweeney remain in charge?
This will be a boon for Fortnite's licensed character business, Disney's merchandising business, Disney+'s content, and absolute downgrade/extortion for all Unreal users. Guaranteed.
Hilarious. A long time ally of Apple will invest in a company hell bent (and somewhat righteously so) knee capping Apple.
Ally of Apple in what way? Do they give each other favorable deals or work closely together on any important projects? I haven’t heard of anything major along those lines. I think an appearance of friendliness mainly came from Steve Jobs, and he’s been gone for a long time now.

Disney use Unreal Engine for their dynamic greenscreen LED wall which they film The Mandalorian and others against. That's got to be at least as important as Fortnite characters.
Maybe but they've been wanting to get in to gaming for a while now, so this is probably mostly about that.
FTFY. They had their own game publishing arm since 1988, Disney Interactive Studios, and owned first-party studios like Avalanche Software, which was sold off to Warner Bros.
They shut it down in 2016.

I wonder if Apple has any regrets about its battle with Epic... Seems like they could have been a great launch partner for the Vision Pro...
They aren’t the only game studio. If Apple rolled over on Epic, it would lead to their entire revenue model around the App Store falling apart.
