On the other hand, Apple can remove those games from the top places in AppStore, which, these days, is horrible for discovery anyway. So money will flow to the new occupants of top spots.

that's why the "anti-trust" laws exist.. in other law suits already apple was required to have a clear way they rank and display apps in the appstore.

My guess is they will just stop doing “Top” lists and do more categorised “Featured” lists and “App Spotlight”. I think the end result will be the same, exposure for the lucky developers and potentially increased revenue.

If there are other stores, antitrust no longer applies and Apple can feature whoever they want on their store front.
