my favorite part of this hearing so far is Tim Sweeney being asked (in an extremely normal and important court proceeding) if he knows what certain gaming objects/concepts are. "Do you know what a 'console' is?"
-
-
"and what does it cost Epic to generate a 'V-buck'?"

is he trying to argue that Sweeney is a hypocrite for not putting Fortnite on Stadia

broadly I want Epic to win this because I think the impacts will overall be positive, but I am quietly enjoying a CEO getting grilled about a very PR-y statement he made once and legally having to explain himself

loooooool lawyer grilling Sweeney on rushing the recent store partnerships (itch, Spotify, etc) just to show off the variety of the storefront at the trial

lol they've accidentally included classified info in another doc being submitted as evidence, this is extremely fun

Judge: I've received ten motions from third parties asking me to seal information. I have not received a request for this document.

Apparently the classified info has to do with some unannounced deal with Paradox?! haha

this is a real quote from the courtroom; it reads like a damn dril tweet

lawyer: are you aware one way or the other as to whether Google Stadia has been shut down?

to be clear since this thread is getting some attention, a lot of these questions sound super basic and stupid but are really important for establishing baseline information in the case. the Stadia question came off a bit weird but the rest is pretty normal.

The judge is currently struggling to get Sweeney to, I guess, define the parameters of what Fortnite is. She just asked him, "How would you define a 'game'?"

Sweeney's done now, they're examining a CEO of a yoga app. Probably fewer juicy bits for now until Nvidia and Xbox get in here later.

since you're here, I wrote a thing about how stupidly secret the games industry is and how the courts weren't prepared for apparently ten or so third-parties descending on them to redact their secrets from evidence:https://www.ign.com/articles/epic-vs-apple-shows-the-courts-were-not-prepared-for-the-games-industrys-obsessive-secrecy …

Good morning. The audio is somehow even worse today and it's very hard to understand what's going on, but it sounds like they're fighting over sealed documents again.

or something about whether the experts chosen for expert testimony are actually experts? I don't know. everyone except the judge is almost entirely unaudible.

fun example of why it's critical to nail down terms. lawyer asking Lori Wright, VP of Xbox biz dev, what an Xbox is. she points out it has two definitions -- the console hardware, but also the overall Xbox ecosystem of games that goes across consoles.

Epic's lawyer building a narrative distinguishing what the Xbox can do as very, very different from an iPhone. Asks Lori Wright for an example of a game that could not possibly run on mobile; she offers Halo. "So roughly, Halo is 50x too large to run on iOS?" "Yes."
