Why is Microsoft even being talked about
1.) Everyone is getting talked about.  Stuff has come out about Sony, Nintendo, etc. because this would have larger effects.  
2.) Microsoft is to some extent backing Epic
, because they want to be able to put Gamepass on iOS.

i love this one.   so much of what's being said is just irrelevant and confusing but this one really get's to the point.     why shouldn't MS be able to implement the "netflix model" of gamepass on IOs?   ....because apple is being anti-competitive.

Trying to get Epic Store ports?
Yes, sorry.  Epic was offering Sony money for games.

I would say because it bypasses apple getting any revenue.

Sure netflix does it, but I feel apple has a right to allow or deny these things on their platform.

Did anything come from Tim Cook being on the stand?
