Battle Royale: What are the legal arguments of Apple and Epic Games?Where are we up to in the legal battle? And where do we go from here?
Epic Games' antitrust lawsuit against Apple is now fully up and running. If you didn't already know, Fortnite was banned from the App Store a few weeks ago, after Epic Games enabled a new way to make payments that breach App Store guidelines. A satirical video and some rhetoric later, Fortnite was banned from the App Store (and Google's Play Store), and Epic had filed a massive antitrust lawsuit against Apple.
In the first round of fighting over a temporary restraining order (TRO), a judge handed down what amounts to a split decision. Epic Games asked that Fortnite be immediately reinstated to the App Store and that Apple be prevented from retaliating by cutting off apple's developer accounts, including the one it uses to look after the Unreal Engine. The judge granted the latter but said Apple was right to ban Fortnite and that any harm Epic incurred as a result was self-inflicted.
Where next?
The case will no...
