Fortnite's return to iOS in the UK "uncertain", as Epic accuses UK regulator of deprioritising store competition
The return of Fortnite to iOS in the UK is "uncertain", Epic has claimed, as it's unable to bring the Epic Games Store to iOS this year, "if ever".
"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," Epic added. "Unless Apple and Google are completely blocked from imposing fees and discriminating against apps using out-of-app payment, we can expect years of malicious compliance ahead, and no genuine restoration of market competition." "We hope the CMA will use its consultation process to re-examine these weak roadmap decisions and bring the benefits of genuine app store and payments competition to British consumers," it said.
