Epic Games v. Apple Court Case - Law & Order Special Episode

If Tom has seen it then so has everyone else. They’re just going through Court Public Documents. However, Apple subpoenaed mountains of mountains of things, so there’s too many to sort through in timely fashion. That leaves them hidden in plain sight where it won’t be until the lawyers reference the documents in court that anyone else outside the lawsuit even knows where to look.

More will be found and written about after the trial is over and there has been enough time for everyone to shift through the troves. What were seeing hilighted now is what was useful for Apple and Epic and called out specifically by the lawyers.

Yeah, they are pulling out all stops. To them it’s a cash cow, they want to confuse the judge -whom very often don’t know crap about Software Engineering or Computer science- and just sell their point of view after tiring the judge out.

The “right to repair” cases are a good example of this. It’s why sadly I have to agree with Epic for the WRONG reasons :frowning: .

I want to still like Apple but they have become a really bloody evil company.

Lady talking about Xbox and xcloud

  • Xbox sees Nintendo as a much less degree of a direct competition than Sony

  • they don’t see iPhone or iPad as competition for Xbox

  • apparently they don’t care if you are able to buy a game on iOS for Xbox

  • Xbox doesn’t think a user is less likely to buy a game on Xbox if you can buy it on ios

  • Microsoft sells every console at a loss

  • Microsoft has never sold a Xbox at profit (wow)

Wow! Has Sony?

I know Nintendo always sells at a profit, if I remember correctly. The Switch has always been sold at a profit.

Aaah, I shouldn’t enjoy this so much :P.

No idea haha

“Sold at a profit” – this all depends on the definition of profit. If you’re merely comparing sold price versus bill of material price or if you’re amortizing all the time spent in Research and Development and also Upkeep and Maintenance of the core OS and feature sets into “the price of hardware”.

Very interesting

which dedicated hardware did they redact?

Even Microsoft can’t remember what this game is called.

Obfuscation at its best.

Sometimes you have to appreciate the elegance of pure BS by Apple.

I was looking at that page as well, but found it interesting that they had 3 things from last year that, so far as I can tell, they still haven’t announced. Or does anyone know what those lines are? Would explain why things were a bit thin. I strongly suspect that one of the two from fourth quarter was Forza Horizon. I found a filing (available publicly, though I’d rather not say where) over a year ago that indicated as of 2019, Playground expected to release something in 2020 - which is why I’m pretty sure it’s coming this year (with a delay).

Also looks like they were planning a mountain of stuff for this year that we don’t know, so that’s pretty exciting.
