News & Reviews:   Digital Markets Act

Epic Games has announced that it is going full steam ahead to bring the popular game Fortnite back to the iPad after the European Commission ruled that the Apple tablets must also comply with the Digital Markets Act. Not only that, the company is even going a step further by bringing the Epic Games store to the iPad.

Previously, we reported on the European Union’s (EU) Digital Markets Act that would force Apple to introduce alternative app stores and sideloading on the iPhone. Well, it looks like Microsoft is keen on using the new EU law to offer its services on iOS devices as it was revealed that the company is planning to launch an Xbox Games Store on the iPhone.

During the VivaTech 2021 conference held in Paris, Apple CEO Tim Cook stated that Android has more malware than iOS as the former allows "sideloading" apps. The statement is also one of the reasons that the Cupertino-based company oppose the proposed European Law, Digital Markets Act (DMA).
