Epic is a company built on the aspiration of serving a new generation of developers and customers as openly and supportively as Apple did in the era when they invented personal computers. As we go into court tomorrow, it is for those original digital freedoms that we fight.

Fight!
MORTAL KOMBAT!
You act like Epic has a chance. They don't. Apple's legal team only needs to point out Epic's numerous grievances while on the platform to force Apple's hand. So this is not about Apple's 30% cut no matter how many times Tim tweets about it or the lawyers argue for it. It is about Apple's control over its platform, and Epic lost that argument when they violated Apple's terms of service agreement. It's a Sheliak move.
Nope. Just saw the new Mortal Kombat film and this seemed apropos. I just felt like yelling....MORTAL KOMBAT!!! I love that theme song.

So if Epic wins, should they now be required to allow in alternate stores to spend "V-Bucks" or even allow 3rd party currencies? Isn't Fortnight a platform at this point?

The funny thing about all of this is that all of the parties involved are going to be acting 100% in self interest, but defending their stance as being in the best interest of consumers. Curious to see who ends up being the more egregious liar when the dust settles.
