Epic Games is on a warpath against Apple once again. The petition before the Supreme Court seeks a ruling on more extensive antitrust issues regulated by the Sherman Act. Per GamesBeat Epic Games is asking,
If a “less-restrictive alternative” must be free from costs to Apple. If a “less-restrictive alternative” doesn’t exist, is the restraint invalid, if the harm to competition substantially outweighs the restraint’s procompetitive justification.
Epic contends that limitations on business practices, which yield both positive and negative competitive outcomes, are illegal if there exists a "less-restrictive alternative" capable of delivering similar advantages while causing less harm to competition.
