    No, Apple won on some technicalities.

    1. They don’t have a major market share globally (despite their larger market share in the US).
    2. Epic’s case was focused on games, which don’t make up the majority of revenue for the App Store, apparently

      They don’t have a major market share globally (despite their larger market share in the US).

      The case was in a US court but the court was only concerned with their global market share?

      How does this have anything to do with market share anyway? They could have 1% and it would still be wrong.

      Epic’s case was focused on games

      I don’t understand what the difference is. Games are functionally and financially the same as every other app in the store.

        Are you serious or are you just trolling? This is an anti trust lawsuit. The definition of antitrust is preventing abuse of monopolies. And the definition of a monopoly is “controlling most or all of the market share” or something.

          My brother in Christ, if you think any size company should be allowed to engage in anticompetitive activities then we have nothing more to discuss.
