The Judge is not stupid. Apple lawyer is just picking apart Epic from limb to limb. Epic thought they had an ace up their sleeve by allowing itch.io on their store, but now its more of a liability to their lawsuit.It's less about there being "sexualized games" on itch.io and more about being able to access them via the EGS store. Currently on PC, but if they win this case then having this on Phones as well. Content that they don't control or moderate.
Looking a bit at the transcription, even the judge interjects into the questioning.

Attorney: And Itch.io is now available as an app on the Epic Games Store, correct?
Allison: Yes.
Attorney: And those apps on Itch.io have not gone through any review process whatsoever. Correct?
Allison: They are subject to whatever process Itch.io puts in front of their devices.
Attorney: Right. So Epic Games, you’re sure, is on the hook for whatever process Itch.io puts in place to review these games that are so offensive we cannot speak about them here, correct?
Allison: I disagree with that statement.
Judge Rogers: So can you or can you not access those apps through your app store?
Allison: You cannot access those apps through the Epic Games Store, no. You can access those apps through their application, which that is what we are downloading: Itch.io, which is an app store. [Users] have their own account with them, and you use their store and are subject to their end user agreement.
Judge Rogers: So if I have a phone and your app store was on that phone, that other store could be downloaded which has all of this offensive material.
Allison: Not on your phone. The app could be downloaded onto your PC and you could access their app on your PC.
Judge Rogers: But that’s what you want to do on a phone too. That’s what I understand.
Allison: I don’t know that we would want to do that with Itch.io [on a phone].
Judge Rogers: But you’re doing it now, so I could access it on my PC, right?
Allison: Yes.
Judge Rogers: And this lawsuit’s about your ability to do it on your phone, right?
Allison: Yes.
This was the first ad that made me think we fucked up as a society.Literally, would rather let him see a pussy and man up a little. Not sure though if it's a he or a she, confused as fuck!
but sticky fingers on the scree……Even easier to just whip out your iPhone open Safari. Don't even need to be near the PC! Much more convenient.
Thats the American way! Where violent movies are ok, but movies depicting anything vaguely resembling sexuality is censored.I find it always hilarious anything sexual is forbidden but taking a gun and start mass murders is totally ok.
yeah, you can just search for porn through safari but then that's not really apple's fault just like it wouldn't really be epic's fault if someone went to itch outside their store. the difference is Epic is listing and advertising it through their store. Apple doesn't list any apps/games that have porn. ever think maybe you're the idiot?Is Apple aware of the irony that people can and likely to search for Porn on Safari. What are they gonna remove that from their iPhones?
Fucking idiots
And how is that functionally different from downloading any other browser listed and advertised on the app store and then search The Unspeakable Things with it?yeah, you can just search for porn through safari but then that's not really apple's fault just like it wouldn't really be epic's fault if someone went to itch outside their store. the difference is Epic is listing and advertising it through their store. Apple doesn't list any apps/games that have porn. ever think maybe you're the idiot?
Did any of us actually wait until we were 18 to access porn?

Yeah there were so many games like that lol
The pretending to care for children card strikes again, you can replace itch with pornhub and EGS with Chrome and it would still make perfect sense in a case of blocking other browsers to be installed on iOSAttorney: And Itch.io is now available as an app on the Epic Games Store, correct?

Let's not pretend Steam have done a good job in this regard, it only takes a couple clicks to let you configure if mature content shows up, not much different from those are you 18 checkboxes.Steam adult games are tagged and age-gated, that's the stipulation for them being on the platform. If you don't have a Steam account, just browsing through the store won't let you see any adult content. Even if you do have an account, you have to specifically enable the adult content categories to see them come up in search, let alone on the frontpage.
I don't remember how Itch.io has it set up, but I sort of doubt it's nearly as thorough.
I believe this could be considered pornItch.io it's great, it's full of indie experimental stuff.
Fuck that lawyer, fuck him sideways.
I do believe that is illegalI find it always hilarious anything sexual is forbidden but taking a gun and start mass murders is totally ok.
Which part?I do believe that is illegal
Mass sexual forbiddens, committed by hilarious guns.Which part?
Have you been on the internet?yeah, you can just search for porn through safari but then that's not really apple's fault just like it wouldn't really be peic's fault if someone went to itch outside their store. the difference is Epic is listing and advertising it through their store.
