“Fortnite" creator Epic Games Inc.’s battle to paint Apple Inc. as a harmful monopoly is drawing more technology companies into the fray, as each side seeks to bolster its case. The company’s lawyers are also set to question Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook in a multi-hour deposition. In addition to its PC game store, “Fortnite" and other games, Epic owns Unreal Engine, a suite of software tools for making videogames, television and movie special effects and other types of digital content. Apple defended its request as narrowly tailored and noted that it wasn’t seeking details on future plans or strategic assessments. The legal fight between Apple and Epic has already provided some heated moments.
