OK more. Note that Epic has attorney Christine Varney, who has Very Serious Antitrust Credentials, on the case. https://t.co/Kfdz5H7I1P — PolitiTweet.org

Spotify, which has had a long-running battle with Apple and filed an antitrust complaint of its own, weighs in on Epic v Apple. Spoiler: Spotify supports Epic. https://t.co/FPNLmRNYBx — PolitiTweet.org

@DylanByers Odds that the average Fornite players gets any of these references, ideas or gives any fucks about this are....very low. — PolitiTweet.org

(and yes there's a #chinaangle, as China's Tencent owns a big chunk of Epic. Doubtful you will see Trump talking about V-Bucks and iOS IAP rules tho) — PolitiTweet.org

Epic appears to be a Unicorn. Enough resources to fight Apple in court for years if it wants to, big enough to live without Apple's customer base if necessary, angry enough to go ahead with this provocation/lawsuit. https://t.co/DQN7jEIaDB — PolitiTweet.org

Or in other cases, they've figured out they can just work without Apple (see: Netflix). — PolitiTweet.org

Little companies didn't fight Apple because they couldn't/were afraid to. And big companies have found ways to work with Apple, because they had enough leverage and time to do so. — PolitiTweet.org
Peter Kafka @pkafka
The main takeaway, for now, again: Lots of big & small companies have complained about Apple's App store policies, going back 9 years. https://t.co/QpGbxB9RUW But no one has gone ahead and actually done anything about it until today. Which tells you a few things. — PolitiTweet.org

Here's the original Apple ad Epic is now mocking in court, and within Fortnite. https://t.co/BLzjes0lzC — PolitiTweet.org

Which is the same ad Epic cites in the beginning of its complaint: https://t.co/IkFAi3OVf3 — PolitiTweet.org

State of play: Fornite-maker Epic intentionally violates Apple app store rules, daring Apple to ban Fornite from the app store. Apple does so. Now Epic it says it has filed an antitrust suit against Apple, and has prepared a cheeky short movie, riffing on Apple's famous 1984 ad. — PolitiTweet.org
Peter Kafka @pkafka
Epic says it doesn't want monetary damages. "Instead, Epic is seeking injunctive relief to allow fair competition in these two key markets that directly affect hundreds of millions of consumers and tens of thousands, if not more, of third-party app developers." — PolitiTweet.org
Peter Kafka @pkafka
And now Epic says it is suing Apple in Federal court for violating the Sherman antitrust act, among other laws. https://t.co/JNQOfzNon5 — PolitiTweet.org

Epic's Fornite has been removed from the App Store after they implemented direct payments, circumventing Apple's 30% cut.
