Microsoft defends Fortnite maker in Apple fight eNCA
Epic Games filed a lawsuit against Apple last week after the tech giant took Fortnite off its App Store for releasing an update that dodges revenue sharing., saying in a court filing that Apple's moves to cut off the company from programming tools would hurt other game creators and players as well.
Apple also threatened to cut off Epic's access to its programming tools needed to maintain"Unreal Engine", a software platform that was developed by Epic and which is used by many video game studios to create graphics.In a filing to the California court handling the case between Epic and Apple, a Microsoft manager said Unreal Engine"is critical technology for numerous game creators including Microsoft".
Apple has alleged that the Fortnite maker deserves to lose its access to the programming tools because it violated the terms of their contract.At the heart of the fight is the 30 percent that Apple takes on the revenue generated by companies to distribute their apps through its online store.
