31st March (Reuters) – Roblox Corp (RBLX.N), the online gaming platform, on Thursday, had said that Apple Inc’s App Store (AAPL.O) gives safety and privacy benefits to the users, supporting the bid of the iPhone makers for beating the Epic Games appeal in a key antitrust case of U.S.

Epic, a platform popular for its game “Fortnite,” last year had lost a trial of whether Apple’s payment and fee rules for the app makers had been anti-competitive. The appeal had been presented to the U.S 19th circuit court of Appeals.

Roblox, on Thursday, in a legal filing, said that Apple’s review and app approval process on the store improves security and safety, offering these apps better legitimacy in the user’s eyes.

In the trial’s origin last year, Roblox had played a central role. DOJ, the department of justice, is searching more about the antitrust trial between Epic Games and Apple. The maker of Fortnite had claimed that Apple gave Roblox a free pass, whose application allows people to select a game from different options available here.

A senior director of Apple described this offer of Roblox as “experiences.” And it was only a while later that on its website Roblox had changed the description from “games” to “experiences,” calling itself a company of the Metaverse.

As per Apple’s claim, its rules encourage several benefits for its consumers, including better privacy and security for the customers. On Thursday, 21, the former U.S national security officials, along with two of the former directors of the Central Intelligence Agency, had supported the argument in favor of Apple.

The hearing of the appeal is expected to be next year.
