Judge: But if you’re getting the same deal deal as spotify it’s fair…
The judge sounds like an idiot. Just because someone agreed to a deal doesn’t mean it’s a fair deal.
Comment on What is Google trying to hide in its deal with Spotify?

Judge to Epic: So if google extended the same deal to you would you be down?
Epic: No, it’s anticompetitive

I agree it’s a bizarre take—they’re a judge, not a settlement lawyer! You’d think a judge’s training would be to consider the general implications of the problem being brought to them given that that’s kinda their job.

If indie devs, for example, aren’t getting the same deal, it sounds anticompetitive to me.
(I’m no Epic fan, just a random thought)

Indie devs do already get a bit of a break by only paying 15%.
