Yes they brilliantly baited Apple into crushing Epic in court.

On what evidence to you base your belief that Apple is guaranteed to win this case? Yes, they have more financial resources, and they have a lot more to lose if they lose so they definitely fight as hard as they can. That doesn't mean they aren't breaking the law and that Epic can't prove it. It'll just be very expensive to do so.

They aren’t breaking the law in any way.

Apple currently has at least two antitrust investigations underway, and this seems to add fuel to that fire.
Whether or not they are breaking the law, they are about to have every single aspect of their market behaviour put under the microscope.
They don't need to break a law to be found to be operating anti-competitively.

They don’t have to break a law to be found guilty? How Kafkaesque.

I guess that's that then.
I'll let Epic Games know, so that they can drop the suit and save themselves some vbucks.
