This is interesting, because there are posts on Hacker News right now from developers who have been continuously punished by Apple. One guy has had seven apps in seven different categories wiped out for essentially being successful.
Imagine the anti-trust suits in the 90s if Microsoft had also made the hardware.
Anyway, now that everything’s a bit calmer and we’ve had time to think, the thing we’re probably most interested in is: will Epic keep supporting iOS if they can’t release their own games on the iOS app store?
Developer accounts schmeloper accounts. They can still maintain it. But will they? That’s essentially the number one concern we all have right now. Fortnite has been a huge driver of continued iOS support in UE4. I love the hardware and the simplicity and security of the platform about as much as I hate Apple’s other practices. And despite that environment iOS support in UE4 has been a little bit limited.
Can anyone from Epic speculate on this please? It’d be a good thing to let us know as soon as possible and probably head off some panic.
