It’s also unlikely because from a practical purpose, the termination of the dev accounts was a feint. It gave the judge an issue on which she could split the difference—preserve the unreal engine dev accounts but not order Fortnite reinstated. Apple appears to have gotten what they wanted out of this first ruling:…

No Athena & Springs, no Sasha & Fiona, no Loader Bot and Gortys in any of the DLC 🤷🏻♀️
Yeah, I don’t think Apple’s going to do that. They’ve already lost the UE part of the restraining order, and deliberately going around a Judge’s orders when using a technicality based on the very Developer Agreement that Epic is contesting violate’s Anti-Trust law...
Fuck the CCP
Digital is just a long term rental. At any point, your license to the game can be revoked for any reason chosen by the platform/publisher whether it be to licensing rights changes, shuttering of the platform itself, etc so I buy physical copies.
If you don’t like the terms of the contract, YOU DON’T SIGN THE CONTRACT.
Fair is very subjective though. Apple can easily claim 30% is fair considering they produced the hardware, the software, marketed and distributed their product with such success that iOS has a very healthy market share.
This is akin to Hasbro asking Target if they can set up a special Hasbro Store within Target to sell Hasbro products without paying Target, being told no, and then setting up a booth anyway.
As the court brief states, Epic is taking pretty questionable steps. I wonder why their lawyers didn’t review the law before filing for an injunction. In short, a preliminary injunction requires the plaintiff to show the below four things. You don’t need to be an attorney to fill in the blanks for Apple’s favor.
An analogy to help people understand this situation:
“Hoping” Apple makes the option available to others and asking them to are not equivalent statements. They did however explicitly ask them to make it available to them. Semantics but still applies in my opinion.
“To bring Control to next generation consoles in any form, we had to make some difficult decisions and those came in the form of creating the simplified Control Ultimate Edition product plan we have today,” 505 Games wrote in its post. “We are sorry we couldn’t meet everyone’s expectations and we hope you will…
Why do people go pay 12 bucks to see a rich person recite someone else’s words in front of a green screen background?
And give me the QOL update of letting me select my fused persona’s skills like P4/5 and I will buy this new P3.
Yes, combine them and update the battle system to allow party control.
I’m salivating over a possible Persona 3 FES port to PC. Easily my favorite Persona game in the series and it just felt darker and more intimate to me. Just give it to me, Sega. PLEASE. I need to BURN MYYYYY BREADDDDDDD
The basic point still stands, there is an IP/licensing agreement underpinning this all that gives Apple leverage. (As opposed to a general ban on Unreal powered games)
I assume its because there is some Apple licensed software in the tools Unreal uses to interact with iOS.
Tencent teaching us fairness in monopolies. Excuse me while I vomit myself inside out.
