Epic Games blasts UK’s ‘vague’ Digital Markets regulation, Fortnite return ‘uncertain’


Epic Games has published a blog post criticizing “today’s bleak news from the United Kingdom,” regarding app store regulation.

Epic Games has published a blog post criticizing “today’s bleak news from the United Kingdom,” and listing all the reasons why the company believes the recently announced rules fell short of its expectations. “The CMA also made a vague announcement about allowing developers to steer customers to payment service outside of apps, without referencing the kinds of restrictions, obstructions and junk fees that Apple introduced in Europe to make a mockery of the Digital Markets Act. The standard in this area has been set by the US court order, which concluded all such fees and obstructions are unlawful, and forced Apple to introduce real payment competition which has genuinely benefited customers of apps like Spotify, Amazon, Stripe, and Fortnite.”
