This is the logical equivalent of, "don't hate the player, hate the game." And it holds about as much water. If any company in the world has the warchest to bow out of petty patent politics, it's Apple.

Yes! I am perfectly happy to hate the player and the game.

Apple and Microsoft were part of a consortium. Do we know that Apple was a ringleader here? Maybe they just are along for the ride to make sure that they weren't in the crosshairs? </devils-advocate>

We do know they are the ringleader as they own 58% of Rockstar.
