Microsoft blames Apple for Xbox mobile store delays

Microsoft has filed an amicus brief in support of Epic Games fight against Apple.

In an amicus brief filed this week, Microsoft expressed support for Epic Games in the companies’ long-running bout against Apple. It reads, in part: "The district court’s injunction allows Apple to maintain its in-app exclusivity but at least should have enabled Microsoft to offer consumers a workable solution by launching its own online store — accessible via link-out — for in-app items to be purchased off-app and used in games or other apps. It seems they want to avoid a situation where the Xbox mobile store is released, only to be taken down should Apple win on appeal.
