It is not an illegal contract. It is a contract that Epic _hopes_ is illegal.
I don't get to ignore my home mortgage payments without consequence even if I believe in my truest of heart that giving money to a bank is wrong. In this metaphor, Apple here is the bank saying that Epic has a habit of not paying back loans, and has publicly stated how they think the loan they are applying for is 'hot garbage'.
- modeless 3y agoEpic didn't just feel it was "wrong". They had legal arguments with merit. And they did prevail in one of them, so in fact the contract was illegal in part. Equating legitimate legal disputes with simply not paying your mortgage for no good reason is absurd.
