The record already reflects (now) that Apple retaliated against Epic in blocking Unreal Engine. (Granted, the court did not use the word "retaliate" because it was a TRO, not a ruling on the facts; but the implication is clear.) Besides fear of sanctions, why wouldn't they retaliate again, and now harder given that the first attempt at retaliation may be thwarted?
- javagram 6y agoThe so-called block of unreal engine came along with a letter asking Epic to put fortnite back in compliance before it would happen. There’s no indication that apple intended a purely retaliatory action, it was obviously pressure for Epic to come back into compliance with the App Store terms, which is what apple wants - for Epic to follow the same rules as everyone else. Apple makes money with Fortnite on the App Store and getting that 30% cut.
