> Not only does this prohibit updates to Fortnite on iOS, but it could impact every game that uses Epic’s Unreal Engine game creation tools. Is this because Epic can't test and develop Unreal on iOS or macOS? Apple's petty overreaction aside here, how do game developers using Unreal feel being caught in the middle of this fued?

how do game developers using Unreal feel being caught in the middle of this fued? Bad, obviously, but i fail to see your point...

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The point I'm getting at is does Tim Sweeney have to answer to anyone? like game developers or share holders? won't they eventually just blame Epic for this if they're not interested in being caught up in this whole battle?

the easiest thing would obviously be to comply with the rules even if they seem completely unfair. However in the long run, i think most developers understand what is at stake here, and support the decision. But of course i may be completely wrong...
