Tim Sweeney, CEO of Epic Games, reprimanded Apple and Google for having a "flat out restraining infrastructure" on their app stores in a Friday meeting with CNBC. There aren't numerous feasible choices for distribution of software outside the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store, and Sweeney reprimands both for taking a 30 percent expense from in-app purchases.

Epic Games propelled the Epic Games Store in late 2018 for Windows and Mac PCs and just charges different distributers a 12 percent expense on in-application buys. The Epic Games Store hasn't made it to the App Store as a result of Apple's severe rules against contending programming stores.
"They [Apple] are forestalling a whole classification of organizations and applications from being immersed in their environment by the excellence of barring contenders from every part of their business that they're ensuring," Sweeney said.
Epic recently made Fortnite accessible to Android gadgets not by offering it on the Google Play Store, yet rather through a launcher on the Fortnite site that downloaded the game. This permitted Epic to evade the 30 percent charge from Google. Be that as it may, the download procedure was excessively included for some clients, so Fortnite in the long run propelled on Google Play not long ago. Sweeney said the organization despite everything intends to bring the Epic Games Store to Android. "Google basically purposefully smothers contending stores by having UI hindrances and block," Sweeney said.
Epic isn't the principal organization to take a stand in opposition to Apple and Google's 30 percent charge. In March of a year ago, Spotify CEO Daniel Ek documented an unjustifiable rivalry grievance against Apple with the European Commission, referring to the charge as driving them to misleadingly expand the cost of its Spotify Premium enrollment.
