That's 100% at Epic's fault.
First of all, they willingly put their customers at risk.
Second of all, they could've put the engine business in a different entity, keeping it safe from their games business
- Xunjin 6y agoEven if they did that... Apple would just ban, because they can/want. I'm not fan of Epic however if the court rules Epic as right, we are about to see an important precedent to a less monopolized market.
- s279 6y agoThat’s Apple’s prerogative after banning a developer who has violated their contract with them. Otherwise you could have shady developers just create numerous of legal entities to effectively brute force their way on to the store, and Apple would be unable to respond. This case is less about monopolisation and more about inequality between two parties when settling a contract. Nothing stops Epic from making an Epic phone and doing the same.
- mikro 6y agoThey did put the engine business into a separate entity, a Swiss company called Epic Games International S.à r.l. Apple is threatening to cut off access for both entities. https://cdn2.unrealengine.com/epic-pi-tro-08-23-2020-819871195.pdf https://cdn2.unrealengine.com/epic-pi-tro-08-23-2020-8198711...
