Epic Games lost the main battle against Apple that began in 2020 and a few days ago it lost again, precisely an appeal to the original verdict. At the time, the leader of Epic Games did not speak about it, but he has already acknowledged defeat and made it clear that the fight will continue.
Tim Sweeney once again took advantage of his Twitter account to communicate with his followers and acknowledge that his appeal did not proceed because his company failed to prove Apple’s alleged monopoly on its devices.
