According to the article, Apple won the right to ban Epic, so what is the defeat you mentioned?
To be clear I think Apple is in the wrong here and the App Store tax is absurd. But what court decision says that Epic won?
- kanwisher 1y agoEpic has won multiple times, and the second time the judge is suggesting criminal proceedings against executives for ignoring the first time they won https://techcrunch.com/2025/04/30/epic-games-just-scored-a-major-win-against-apple/ https://techcrunch.com/2025/04/30/epic-games-just-scored-a-m...
- rafram 1y agoTim Sweeney is good at PR, and the media tends to fall for it. The judge didn’t say Fortnite had to be let back on the App Store. She said that Apple needed to allow payments through external payment processors. Apple can’t force Epic to use their payment system anymore, but they absolutely still can decide they don’t want to distribute Fortnite on the App Store. It’s their store.
- terinjokes 1y agoThis seems to be true for the Apple App Store, but doesn't explain the lack of notorizing the update for Epic's own EU storefront.
- vessenes 1y agoThey lost on almost all counts actually; precisely the reason the judge was angry about failure to comply with the relief she did order. (In her opinion; appeals court will see. It looks colorable to me that she may feel Apple outsmarted her and just “technically” complied. But we will see during appeals.)
