Epic Games Files Complaint Against Apple in the UK

Posted March 30, 2021 | Apple | Epic Games | Games | iOS | Mobile | Mobile gaming | Windows


Epic Games today announced that it has filed a complaint to the UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) in support of its investigation into Apple’s anticompetitive behavior.

“By kneecapping the competition and exerting its monopoly power over app distribution and payments, Apple strips UK consumers of the right to choose how and where they get their apps, while locking developers into a single marketplace that lets Apple charge any commission rate they choose,” Epic Games founder and CEO Tim Sweeney says. “These harmful practices lead to artificially inflated costs for consumers, and stifle innovation among developers, many of whom are unable to compete in a digital ecosystem that is rigged against them.”

According to the complaint, Apple’s anticompetitive business practices “constitute a clear violation of the UK Competition Act of 1998.”

The complaint follows other legal actions that Epic Games has engaged in against Apple since last year, including lawsuits it filed in the United States, Australia, and the European Union. And as the company notes, it is not seeking monetary damages.

“Instead, Epic is pursuing regulatory remedies that will prevent Apple’s intentional distortion and manipulation of the market and ensure fair access and competition for consumers and developers in the UK and around the world,” the firm explains.
