I have no problem with new laws to address this behavior.

My disagreement is with the belief that existing anticompetitive laws apply to this situation.



Apple has at least 50% of the market in the USA. They have 90% of the youth market so the general market share just keeps growing.

You can't have a successful app business without putting your offering in Apple's app store.

Our existing anti-trust laws absolutely apply here.


OK, maybe absolutely is a bit strong. IANAL :)

Who knows... we'll see I guess. I don't think Epic will win, but I hope something changes because I just really want to put my own app on my own phone and help my customers do the same.
