My take: Give Loup TV 22 minutes and they’ll fill you in. Audio streaming of the case begins Monday May 3. Whatever the judge’s decision, it will get appealed.

Epic is on a PR campaign to bring about change because they’re extremely arrogant and want a free ride on the App Store.
Taking Gene’s narrative that Epic pursued their strategy because Apple did not budge on price, what is the way forward?
If the decision is Apple must open iOS to 3rd party virtual goods market places, then what is a fair rent for the space on iOS? Who sets that rate? Will we see a “PUC” for iOS and Android and NOT for any other virtual goods platforms? Who ensures the safety of these open market places? (Safety includes privacy, security, preventing stalking, scammers, extortion, copy-cat Apps, and more.)
“What I find seriously strange about Epic’s claims against Apple, is that Epic was trying to start its own, Epic only, Store platform for Epic developers (charging them 30% of gross revenue) within Apple’s proprietary App Store.“
So if Apple charged 30% AND Epic charged 30%, then the poor developer got hit for (30+(70x.3)=) 51%! Of COURSE Epic wanted Apple to drop its prices!
