Microsoft joins Epic Games in an argument with Apple. Microsoft intervenes by supporting the video game developer Fortnite. Microsoft has warned that if Apple closes its Epic Games account with the AppStore, it will damage the gaming business of the technology giant as well as other game creators. Microsoft filed a lawsuit on Sunday after Epic Games said Apple threatened to remove some of the games from its app store and block the ability to support the "Unreal Engine" the software that many game developers use to create better graphics.
