The Apple lawyer is going after the fact that Itch.io has porn games on it despite Epic rejecting sexual games on the Epic Games Store
Itch was added to the Epic Games Store shortly before the trial.
Allison says Epic just hosts Itch, not the games themselves. These games are “so offensive we cannot speak about them here"
"There are many games on http://Itch.io, I won’t even read the names out loud, but they are both offensive and sexualized."
Judge is now trying to parse the process of getting from the EGS to “that other store could be downloaded which has all of that offensive material.”
In terms of providing access on mobile, Allison says “I don’t know that we would want to do that with Itch.io."
“Now that you know there are offensive and sexualized app on Itch.io, as the head of EGS, do you plan to do anything about that?”
Allison says he doesn’t know and that these apps are Itch.io’s apps, not EGS's
Itch.io statement:
This jam will take place from Saturday, May 8th to Saturday, June 12th because that's as long as this joke will be funny. Please remember to make sure all submissions are Truly Games, or in the words of Apple's lawyer:
"Games have a beginning and end, there’s challenges in place." Doing anything else would be unspeakable.
This can potentially blow up in Epic's face because Epic has established the majority of Fortnite players are kids. Apple can argue Epic laid an easy path to porn accessible to children through Epic's client.
