EpicGame CEO Criticizes Apple's AppStore Adjustments

TapTechNews August 3rd news, Tim Sweeney, the chief executive officer of EpicGame, tweeted on the X platform, accusing Apple of the latest adjusted AppStore terms, further restricting the freedom of application developers.

In the tweet, Sweeney said that Apple's AppStore adjustment this time has anti-competitive intentions and restricts the normal operation of super applications, affecting game ecosystems such as Roblox and Fortnite, chat and business applications such as WeChat, and Netflix game applications.

Sweeney believes that Apple has further restricted super applications in the new terms and has formulated different restrictive measures to safeguard its own interests so that its development will not threaten Apple's business.

TapTechNews reported yesterday that Apple is increasing efforts to put pressure on Tencent and ByteDance, asking the two companies' most popular applications in China to make fundamental changes.
