Well, yes. Thing is, Epic essentially started a war. Had they went and sued Apple... that's normal. They could have also tried this in the EU where they would likely garner some governmental help.

But the decided to violate license agreements, created smear PR campaigns and so on. It is unsurprising that Apple is hitting back.

Even if Epic wins, I'm not sure the public is better served by a store from a company that punches so low. Using they customers as fodder is not ok.

I would say that applies to apple lot more than epic , they have hurt their customers .

Apple could also have taken epic to the courts as well and got their way if it was fair. Remember apple did the actual ban and is hurting the users now .
