Remarkable that TikTok is still available on the App Store, despite the risk it poses to national security. I guess Apple and China sleeping together is truly a case of friends with benefits. Maybe Epic Games should please Apple more often?

Epic games kind of Tencent (a Chinese company) subsidiary, it has 40% share.

There are about 5 times as many TikTok users as Fortnite players. I suppose that is a part of the calculation as well.

Also, perhaps I’m mistaken, but the majority of Epic Games is owned by Tim Sweeney. Meanwhile, TikTok majority is owned by ByteDance, which I don’t think we can confidently believe is truly a separate, sovereign entity from the CPC. And all this is somewhat besides the point; Apple is clearly more dependent on TikTok (China) than Epic Games.
