Epic Games took on a giant when it launched a case against creator of iOS Apple for keeping it from earning as much on sales in the store. According to Epic, this was proof of a monopoly, since Apple was controlling how much developers made on purchases across a number of apps. After appealing a previous loss, the Ninth Circuit has largely rejected that appeal.
The court largely upheld the previous ruling, according to Axios reporter Stephen Totilo today, with Epic losing most of the charges it brought. But the court upheld the ruling that Apple is in violation of anti-steering laws, which means it can no longer keep people from being pushed to other websites for purchases. One new update is that Epic might now have to pay Apple’s legal bill.
