It does seem everything is at risk though, at least for the moment. What Epic has done, though, is gotten the court, with the temporary restraining order, to now have issued ruling consistent with the argument that Apple is “too big”, as it viewed severing the Unreal Engine piece at this immediate time could harm the public good. This restraining order will be reviewed by the court in a month (9-28-2020). Now, keep in mind, also, that the same judge who made this ruling also is already currently hearing a separate case involving another app developer, who has a little earlier filed a case claiming Apple is a monopoly (Cameron v Apple)…so, this other case’s momentum either will give legs or shunt back Epic’s case.
So, imagine if the court agrees with claim by other app developer, and continues to renew the restraining order. This will mean Apple might feel pressured to settle with the parties, likely reducing the 30%. However, imagine if the court does not agree with the other app developer, and does not continue to enforce the restraining order involving Unreal Engine. Bye bye iOS?..
BUT - In any event, there could be appeals, and talks, cases dragging on, and on, and on, settlement talks…public sentiment momentum will play a role, etc…so a lot does appear at risk.
And with great risk could come great reward.
