Apple Argues There's Porn On Epic Games Store #1
Apple and Epic spent about 10 minutes arguing over whether the Epic Games Store had porn on it. Allowing Adult content is pretty normal, as even Steam is doing it.

Quote:Is there porn on the Epic Games Store? Seems like a pretty easy “yes” or “no” question. Today, however, the ongoing, increasingly contentious Epic v. Apple court case showed us that actually it’s possible to have a nearly 10-minute argument about it.

It began as part of a series of inquiries in which Apple’s lawyer was attempting to establish Epic’s quality control process (or lack thereof). To give you an idea of what she was playing at, she’d just brought up a quote in which Epic CEO Tim Sweeney called some consumers “humorless trolls” and asked Epic Games Store VP Steve Allison if Sweeney was referring to Epic’s own customers. She then moved on to a line of questioning surrounding itch.io, the indie game store Epic recently added to its app lineup seemingly to take a shot at Apple.

I don't see what the argument Is based on- there either Is or there Isn't porn.

If Apple believes there Is, they must have evidence In support of their allegations. Whatever the case may be, It doesn't take an argument to determine the content.

this is a terrible point for apples case. it doesnt matter what he called his customers and it doesnt matter if they had porn on there store.

just seems like a piss poor excuse to kick off competition from the app store

There's definitely sexual content, though it's debatable if it's just porn. Not going to look into the specifics.

In fairness, I could easily argue that the line is pretty clear cut, as porn would be a video/image of sexually explicit content with no other content/features. Then again, does it classify as porn if you have a mobile game that has sexually explicit content? Where is the line?
