So the tech trial of the century is beginning today and here is a thread about it, you can listen in via the information below but it isn't recommended if the audience of children are still chiming.

Fuck Epic.

Fuck Apple too, but I want Epic to embarrass themselves here.

If Epic wins that will be very different marketplace for the future of all gaming and non-gaming stores out there.

So is there any chance that Epic could win this?

They have quite a few hurdles to overcome in their case, but anything's possible in court. Slim chance, but still a chance. I imagine it won't stop here either, Epic will appeal this as much as they can, and use any defeats as evidence that a legislative solution is needed.

Is there supposed to be a decision today or what? I don't really understand the timeline of the case.

I'd assume Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft are all siding with Apple on this. Siding with Epic literally does not benefit them at all.
Microsoft is backing Epic

I dont like either epic or apple, but in this case i cheer for apple to win, since it will be horrible for gaming in the upcoming years if sony, xbox and nintendo should allow 3rd party stores onto their systems

The only reason I'd want Epic to "win" is to see the ripple effects of what's going to happen to the console platforms.
