This is being the news of the summer, and we don't know if it will end up overshadowing the launch of Apple's new products. The war between Apple and Epic Games It has no end ... And each time it seems that they join the party more. And it is that now the Germany's antitrust court has opened an investigation to monitor everything that is happening in this process. After the jump we give you all the details of this controversy that seems to never end.
Just uttered Andreas Mundt, Head of the Federal Competition Office in Germany, in Reuters. He comments that they are closely monitoring the entire process involving Apple and Epic Games after Apple removed the Fortnite game after adding Epic Games its in-game payment method to avoid having to pay Apple commissions. The App Store and the Play Store represent an interesting habitat, because they are the only two in the world, according to Mundt. Something partly true and partly a lie since there are many other application stores on Android, and not only on mobile phones does this happen, on consoles video game developers also have to pay their corresponding commissions to manufacturers ...
What will happen? The idea is to change the operation of the application stores, something quite difficult, or easy depending on who asks. It is true that the German competition authority managed to reach an agreement with Amazon to study how they treat their merchants, so anything can happen ... What is clear is that we are seeing more and more news of this type and something is about to change, whether Apple or Epic Games have the reason, what is clear is that sooner rather than later there has to be a regulation that makes all this clear. We will see…
