Epic Games And Apple Until they stick out in the courtroom and do not shout at each other Objection! Now only preliminary hearings are held, and the main action will take place in a few months-May 3, 2021.
It is on this day that the judge Ivonna Gonzalez Rogers (Yvonne gonzalez Rogers), engaged in the case, appointed a trial. The decision will be issued by a judge, not a jury collegium.
Gonzalez Rogers Offered Epic And Apple jury collegium earlier. In this case, the trial would have passed no earlier than July 2021. But the parties refused and preferred a verdict from one judge.
In previous hearings Gonzalez Rogers I took the side Apple. However, recently the antimonopoly subcommittee of the House of Representatives of the United States calculated Apple, Amazon, Google And Facebook* monopolists in their areas. Epic Also accuses Apple in monopolism, so that the decision of the subcommittee may affect the outcome of the dispute between the two companies.
Or may not be reflected! We will learn about this only in May.

Gene, I have a question. Since when 7 months is some?
Well, technically, you can call it so … since not exactly six months. Somewhat = unknown number.
“A little more than six months” is best suited … probably.
You generally wrote everything right, but there is no philosophy here. There is an elementary word: “somewhat”, with an elementary exact meaning: “a small indefinite number”. Given that in the year 12 months, you can safely consider 12 as a large number (it is, in principle, for the concept of “somewhat” and so large, without all this monthly bazaar), and 7 already behind the line of half, which does not fit into this “several”.
Not an expert, but here the dimensions of the Appl are playing. For example, the House of Representatives considered Apple and other monopolists in their areas. Because if at least a sign of a competitive company appears, any of this four can buy it. I read that the FB has already absorbed more than 100 companies, and the antimonopoly service was only the purchase of Instagram*. On the DFF or something.

Because for this you need designers, https://non-uk-casinos.co.uk/review/spin-time/ programmers, testers and thousands of experienced employees from a variety of areas. Plus multimillion -dollar investments and ooooooo a lot of time. And all this is only on the very creation of these same Epic Phone.
Obviously, Epicians stupidly do not want to spend money, effort and time to create their product, they stupidly want to use the efforts of other people/companies on free. They even copy someone else’s success, which for many years everyone was in sight, they could not, and made non -working garbage instead of launcher.
Well, here you can already delve into philosophy, but in my understanding “several” is a number from 2 to 4, but no more than half of something. Okay, let’s close this topic about several, otherwise it turns out philosophical nonsense.
Yes, they created a product, but they sold this product and the buyer is not able to fully dispose of it, in particular this case, users have to use only the apertor
And where is the monopoly?
It is quite obvious that by buying a product from someone, you will use this product on its conditions.
Buying a wood saw I can not use it for metal. So the one who sold this saw to me is a monopolist?
Well, theoretically, of course, I can use this file for metal. But I will lose the whole guarantee. But also any EPL owner can counter his phone as he wants. And put android here.
So where does the monopoly in general?
Because if they do not like the amount of the bits, they can be pronounced through other stores (including the USS), other forms of digital distribution (at least torrents), even with the help of physical media, or put in open access.
Also, anyone can beat on the Apple, and distribute their application through android.
And just anyone can put them in open access. How EPL interferes with this?
And how does this justify the monopoly? Monopoly, if that, this is the one -leosen ownership of the product in the entire market.
It doesn’t matter in what way this ownership has been achieved – development or purchase.
So EPL does not own the market of all phones. What is his monopoly – I still don’t understand.
But Epicians own a monopoly for a certain number of products. Let the temporary one.
I do not see a plus for myself that I am forced to buy games that I want, in the exam, instead of Steam.
And I also do not see in this competition.
Everything is stable in the stake. Everything is stable in the Unified State Register.
I go some kind of cognitive skew.
You compare the plate closed by the PC PC with a market. Do not feel a breakdown of logic?
PC = phone. IOS = EGS = Steam = Android.
I don’t like Ios – take android. Where is the monopoly?
About why epic is not monopolists directly fire. The window is also laid out on android, Sonya, Huan and EGS. And if the epics want, then also on torrents may appear. The feature of the monopoly in this case is exclusively in the fact that the owner of the platform determines the rules for entering his market. It is this epics that complain. But on the other hand, there were cases when Epicians were not allowed into their store, because the game owners refused to recognize exclusivity. That is, they in the same way determine the rules for input. In fact, one monopolist accuses another monopolist of a monopoly on his monopoly market, demanding monopoly rights for himself.
Or maybe this glorious gentleman will tell what kind of APPLE Platform a monopolist? Just in case, I tell you a highly spiritual master, who is driving for “honest” epic: iPhones are not a platform, mobile phones can be a platform. And a surprise-surprite, on the market of mobile phones of Apple, incomparably further from monopolization in general, in comparison with the epics, for example, in the market of game engines.
You still do not understand that this is not a corrupt advantage – this is a temporary action aimed at attracting an audience. If the audience is attracted and the EGS will become a leader in the market, then here you will understand why everyone is so out of it from him. Because all the disadvantages and shitty work of the Epic will immediately demonstrate himself.
Even the pork itself does not indulge this frank disadvantage for everyone, because it understands that players from a low interest only are worse (below the percentage – less money for development and support for work), and publishers with developers just do this “advantage”, since 1*70 = 70, and 0*88 = 0.
Epicians still cannot bring their store to mind, where they are to create a smartphone. But even if they created it, who in their right mind would like to buy it?
Yes, and for that mobile mobile. Non -frail part of which they control. And the market for not their creation or property.
Where do you get their "considerable amount" and that they "control" something?
They control only their small part of Jos. And all.
This is not a mobile market. This is his Maaaaaaalaya part.
Well, with your arguments that Apple controls the entire world mobile software market, I would be silent about parallel worlds.
You have a hat, by the way, fell. Raise.
In general, in this situation, the concept of "monopoly" is not clear to me.
Maybe someone will explain to me?
Why Apple, Creating your own product, and without affecting others, monopolists? And why epic, which They pay developers for their product to be Only with them, Not monopolists?
It turns out any copyright (patent and so on) is a monopoly? Or what? I don’t understand.
Yes, they created a product, but they sold this product and the buyer is not able to fully dispose of it, in particular this case, users have to use only the apertor. And this is to go out of how it affects other developers – a recent scandal of the developers of Words, where they had to add paid functions otherwise EPLD refused to place their application, and they added, because there are no other legal stores on Aios.
I don’t like Apple – you get away from Appl. Their business to offer conditions, yours – agree or not.
With WP, as I recall, there was such a situation that there were payments there, but not through the application.
As you can see, the competition has led to the fact that one store offers free games and a low percentage for developments, the second offers access to the community of games, acivals, reviews, mods and much more, the third convenience of access to games without DRMs and all of them periodically attract in large discounts. All this is a plus for gamers. While Ioos everything is stable.
Yes, the investigation of the chamber has been going on for more than a month and has no attitude to the lawsuit. I generally do not take anything here – not a lawyer. How much Epica and Apple were filed with each other … Uf.
