Epic Games accuses Apple of holding up launch of its EU games store


Epic Games has claimed Apple is deliberately delaying its efforts to launch its own iOS games store in Europe.

“Apple’s rejection is arbitrary, obstructive, and in violation of the DMA(Digital Markets Act), and we’ve shared our concerns with the European Commission,” it said. Epic, which has been linked to an exclusive release, alleged the iPhone maker’s practice of charging up to 30% commissions on in-app payments on its native iOS devices contravened US antitrust regulations. The Cupertino multinational agreed to comply but stated it would still apply a 27% commission charge on sales (12% for small developers), resulting in Epic returning to court to contest Apple’s position.
