The megacorp may not be complying with new EU laws when it comes to games like Fortnite

Back in March, the European Union brought in new rules that were designed to stop companies like Apple and Google from blocking third-party companies running their own in-app item stores. This was supposed to carve a path for games like Fortnite to be able to return to mobile, now they could run in-game purchases without having to use Apple or Google ’s own stores, and thus regain 30 percent of every purchase.

The charge only applied to companies with over a million installs in the previous 12 months, but it was obviously aimed at ensuring the company would still get its tithe. On its face is very obviously not in the spirit of the new rules. Tim Sweeney was predictably unimpressed. In January, 2024 he described it as “a devious new instance of Malicious Compliance.” It seems the EU somewhat agrees.
