On Oct. 21 in a California courtroom, Cary’s Epic Games will resume its two-year showdown with the world’s richest tech company. That would be Apple, which Epic accuses of maintaining an illegal monopoly. Apple thinks otherwise.
The case could impact how apps are downloaded — and how much they cost — for both iPhone and non-iPhone users.
“Epic vs. Apple is what I’ve previously called the Superbowl of antitrust,” said Florian Ederer, an associate professor of economics at the Yale School of Management.
