<p>Apple has terminated Epic Games’ developer account, citing past rule violations and unreliability. This move comes after Tim Sweeney, CEO of Epic Games, publicly criticized Apple’s monopoly position. Epic Games alleges that Apple is retaliating against them for Sweeney’s criticism. They have even informed the European Commission about the issue. Sweeney has also spoken out against Apple’s response to the EU fine regarding anticompetitive practices, emphasizing their control over in-app purchases and their relationship with app makers before they became a monopoly. Not stopping there, Sweeney has also criticized Google for ‘malicious compliance’ with the EU’s Digital Markets Act and the fees charged by both Google and Apple for developer access to digital markets. These events shed light on the ongoing tensions between Epic Games and the tech giants Apple and Google, and raise questions about their control and influence within the digital marketplace.</p>
