What Do the Epic Games’ Lawsuits Against Apple and Google Say About the DOJ’s Apple Case?

Epic Games filed lawsuits against Apple and Google in 2020 for restricting users' access to Epic's offerings through third-party app stores. The Ninth Circuit ruled in favor of Epic against Google, finding antitrust violations, while Epic lost the federal antitrust case against Apple. The Department of Justice also filed a lawsuit against Apple under Section 2 of the Sherman Act for monopolization. Apple's closed system was found to be successful, while Google's open-source system faced legal challenges. The court in the Google Play case issued remedies targeting exclusivity, which could lead to better user experiences and lower prices.

Когда Mafia 4 появится на торрентах

On August 8, 2025, Mafia: The Old Country, a prequel in the mafia franchise developed by Hangar 13, will be released. The game is set in early 20th-century Sicily and follows Enzo Favara, a young Sicilian orphan and miner. It features a linear narrative focusing on deep storytelling and atmospheric immersion, departing from the open-world format of previous titles. Mafia: The Old Country will not be officially available for sale in Russia due to publisher Take-Two's policies, but players can use workarounds to acquire it. The game will include Denuvo anti-piracy protection, and it is unlikely to appear on torrent sites before summer 2026. Previous Mafia games were quickly pirated, but current Denuvo protections present a greater challenge, with cracking timelines for Denuvo-protected games averaging between two months to two years.
