I asked the Epic CEO: “What do you think your chances are given how the Apple trial played out?”
He told me the weather’s nice, laughed, and then an Epic spokesperson immediately but politely barred me from a question No. 2. “We’re not doing interviews right now.”

The whispers in the gallery are that there’s a “sealing” problem.
Or maybe a ceiling problem? I looked up, and the ceiling tiles look just fine, though. Guessing there’s a risk that some piece of evidence wasn’t properly sealed.
He’s sitting basically right in front of me (and one to the right).
Outside the courtroom, Tim told me he won’t be a witness today. I guess he’s here to watch it all kick off.
Butts are still in seats for now, but we’ve been informed that the judge will boot us out for a bit after he arrives. I’ll let you know when it happens, if I have enough time.
Epic v. Google is about to kick off — you can read my explainer here — and I’m in the courtroom to bring you updates live. No phones or recording devices allowed inside, so this is the only picture you’ll get!
Here’s our StoryStream where I’ll be doing live updates like this one.
A jury will decide whether Google’s Android app store is an illegal monopoly in the Epic v. Google trial starting Monday, November 6th.

Digital Foundry’s Alex Battaglia put together this fantastic video visually comparing every setting across PS5 and PC — explaining why “1080p DLSS Medium” actually looks pretty great. (The PS5 runs a mix of Medium and Low spec.)
