Source? They specifically state that they're not suing for damages and I doubt they have changed their case in the last few days...

> Apple’s conduct has caused and continues to cause Epic financial harm, but as noted above, Epic is not bringing this case to recover these damages; Epic is not seeking any monetary damages.

That's in the middle of the document, but at the end:

> C.Awarding any other equitable relief necessary to prevent and remedy Apple’s anti-competitive conduct;and

> D.Granting such other and further relief as the Court deems just and proper

It's also totally normal for a course of action that was deemed unlawful and resulted in losses for one party to be compensated. Anyway, we have a decade or so to find out; these cases are not quick.


Only D is arguably on point, and probably wouldn't reverse a statement in the same filing that they are specifically not seeking a specified class of damages, instead it basically keeps open anything not specifically excluded tomwhich they might be entitled; equitable relief as mentioned in C is a legal term of art that does not overlap with money damages, so that certainly cannot be read as a claim for money damages.
