If Apple drops support for Unreal Engine, the consequences it will go far beyond the Apple ecosystem which is a major concern.
The relationship between Apple and Epic Games continues to heat up for the recent days. The Epic Games claims that Apple has threatened to end support for the Unreal Engine in its ecosystem if it does not comply with the controversial App Store terms and policies.
The Unreal Engine game engine is very popular among the users and is used by many developers around the world who use it to create games for various platforms. If Apple drops support for the Unreal Engine, then the developers won't be able to release updates or fix bugs which will become a major concern for them.
This could affect a wide range of games on iOS and macOS, including Microsoft's Forza. Even the games on Apple's own subscription service Apple Arcade use the Unreal Engine. If Apple drops support for the Unreal Engine, the consequences will extend far beyond the Apple ecosystem.
Apple gave Epic a deadline of August 28th to make Fortnite compliant with App Store regulations. Otherwise, Apple promises to remove all Epic developer accounts and close access to development tools for iOS and Mac. In this regard, Epic Games went to court with the requirement to ban Apple from doing so. Epic Games was recently supported by Microsoft which sounds good.
Epic Games believes that Apple's attack has moved from Fortnite to the company's entire business in unrelated areas, although they are governed by separate agreements and governed by different legal entities.
