On May 6, Rockstar Games released the second trailer for the long-awaited Grand Theft Auto VI without any prior announcements, delighting fans. The video, published on the company's official YouTube channel, collected more than 45 million views in the first 14 hours.

Epic Games has spent more than $100 million on legal and litigation services in its lawsuit against Apple, the company's CEO Tim Sweeney told Business Insider. “We can’t say exactly how much we would have made on iOS, but over the two years we’ve been on the platform, Fortnite has made about $300 million on iOS.

Sweeney told Business Insider that Epic Games will take advantage of Apple's n...
