Epic Games thinks that Apple's new EU app store rules still violate the Digital Markets Act

Epic Games Maintains Apple's EU App Store Rules Still Flout Digital Markets Act

Leading game developer Epic Games continues its assertive stance against what it perceives as anti-competitive practices by major tech platforms. While the company has voiced strong concerns that Apple's recently updated EU App Store policies still fall short of complying with the European Union's pivotal Digital Markets Act (DMA), Epic's advocacy for a more open digital landscape extends beyond just Apple. The gaming giant also initiated significant legal action against Google, a move that prompted the search behemoth to introduce considerable shifts in its mobile ecosystem. Consequently, Google adjusted its Play Store fees and simplified the procedure for users to install third-party app stores on Android devices. This landmark development has notably benefited developer choice, paving the way for platforms like the **Epic Games Store for Android**. Currently, the Epic Games Store is accessible on Android as a direct web download, with expectations for broader integration and availability on the horizon. Source
