Re: Lack of "good will"?

From what I understand, Epic had to have a contract and then break it and get it cancelled by Apple in order to bring legal action, because they had to have standing. i.e. the only way to sue for the contract being unfair is to sign the contract and break the terms. Epic's actions were not just "oh we don't like the rules" they steps taken were specific to being able to take legal action.

I'm not particularly interested in Epic because I don't play games. But it seems to me that only a large enough company was going to be able to bring this challenge, and no large company completely smells of roses.
