I have a feeling Apple will come out far worse than epic when this is over.
- dbt00 6y agoLawsuits have a way of ending up funny. AT&T sued UCB over BSD Unix, ended up having to admit they stole tons of shit from UCB. That said, my prediction is that most of this lawsuit will be over contract law, and Apple has Epic over a barrel on that. Whether or not Epic should have to pay 30%, cloaking violating code changes in an update to slip it past the app store reviewers is a mortal sin under Apple's terms and they are perfectly within their rights to treat everything Epic does from now on as an unrepentant violator.
- CodesInChaos 6y agoThe lawsuit is only round 1. Providing a nice demonstration of apple abusing their market position could result in regulatory action.

- thatguy0900 6y agoI don't care about Apple or epic, I own products from neither. But the regulators are looking at apples 30% cut now.
- pjmlp 6y agoWhich is nothing compared with what it used to be back in the J2ME, Symbian, Brew, Blackberry days where it went all the way up to 80%. It is also the same value as game consoles, which apparently Epic is fine with.
