Epic lead attorney Gary Bornstein, earlier:
“The reason we asked for global, it’s to ensure that even in the United States, there will be sufficient competition because there will be sufficient incentives for people like Epic and small companies to make the investment nescessary to get the scale they need to reach a sufficient portion of the users in the world, not just the 5 percent in the United States.”
Epic CEO Tim Sweeney, now: “Developers make apps and ship them broadly across all of the world [...] every store will be able to do a much better job of serving US users if it can reach a worldwide audience.”
The original injunction only applies to the US, but the new proposed settlement has terms that would apply globally.
