> 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?

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?
