Apple has signed off on the Epic Games Store in the European Union after the gaming company publicly complained that the tech giant had repeatedly rejected their application, which Epic Games said was a violation of E.U. law. On Friday morning, the Epic Games Newsroom account posted on X, accusing Apple of rejecting the Epic Games Store notarization submission twice because of similarities to Apple’s own App Store.
In follow-up posts, the Epic Games account said that naming buttons “Install” and “In-app purchases” is the standard convention within the industry and that Apple was being “arbitrary, obstructive, and in violation” of the European Union’s Digital Markets Act . “Update: Apple has informed us that our previously rejected Epic Games Store notarization submission has now been accepted,” the Epic Games Newsroom posted on X Friday afternoon.
