Epic Games: mobile "gatekeeping" is "at the heart of why the industry is in a rut"


Epic Games' Saxs Persson talks to Eurogamer about the future of the industry and Epic's continued plans for a "metaverse".

Like Sweeney, he's also candid and openly opinionated about the dispute with Apple, noting that Epic very much expects the company to further relent on issues of compliance with the DMA. Sweeney, meanwhile, has also been vocal about the promise of the "metaverse" as the future - although as some have recently pointed out, what many people mean when they use the word is simply: video games with crossovers. Across almost all of Persson's responsibilities at Epic, meanwhile, sits the concept of user-generated content, or UGC - a hot topic at GDC and, seemingly, in many video games industry boardrooms right now, as publishers survey their options for as yet untapped growth.
