Looks like this Apple v Epic trial is quite a shit show:

Epic vs. Apple Shows the Courts Were Not Prepared for the Games Industry's Obsessive Secrecy - IGN
It's only the second day of Epic and Apple going head-to-head, and it's already clear that the United States court system was not prepared for the overly secretive gaming industry.

They paid 'in advances' - Epic gave them $146 Million, but the first $146 Million in sales goes back to Epic.
In effect, they guaranteed them $146 Million in sales (what, 2.5 million copies), not that Epic gave them an _extra_ $146 Million plus sales. The 'One-Off Fee' and marketing spend at a combined $35 Million _are_ effectively free money for Take-Two.

That's pretty slick. $11 million to get 5 million new users. Sweeny probably has twice that in loose change in his couch.

I completely forgot that it was going to be a survival type game originally. I was actually pretty excited for it. I remember reading that they were still going to release it, but I haven't bothered to look into it in years.

Funny thing is, I bought it for the co-op survival, but it wasn't that interesting at the time. Don't think I ever tried the battle royal mode.

Kids and their fucking skins man.
Friend of mine said he was at his brother's house for Easter. Two nephews for $20 or 30 each and friend said the very first thing the kids said when they got the money is if they can buy apex skins. Multiple this by a few million. That is the current state of gaming.

From a PDF that was inadvertently put up on the lawsuit fileserver (googly eyes probably just from the tweet I stole this from), which has since been pulled down, here are Epic's efforts to get first party titles from Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo on their store:

Learning English with Music: Somebody that I USED TO Know (Goyte)
I know you have all heard this song. It’s repeated on the radio numerous times a day, there are hundreds of youtube covers, and it has had more than 30 remixes from house music to dubstep. The haunting melody of the song is so repetitive you probably find yourself humming it over and over again....
