> In the case most favorable to Epic, it could be reduced to a lower value

No.

The most favourable outcome would be allowing Epic and others who already have their own sales and payment channels to use them alongside the app store payment system.

I think that's the main reason this lawsuit exists. I don't think Epic or Spotify really want to creat their own iOS app store.

Epic (Tim Sweeney) explicitly says that if not for App Store policies, they would launch an alternate App Store on iOS in the set of emails to Tim Cook that Apple submitted to the court:

> 2. A competing Epic Games Store app available through the iOS App Store and through direct installation that has equal access to underlying operating system features for software installation and update as the iOS App Store itself has, including the ability to install and update software as seamlessly as the iOS App Store experience.
