Apple/Epic’s legal battle sparks new scrutiny in Japanese gaming market — Apple World Today

The legal brouhaha between Epic Games and Apple has sparked new scrutiny in the Japanese gaming market, “prompting complaints and questions about how to counter the tech giant’s dominance,” reports Bloomberg.

Epic’s gripe focuses on the 30% revenue cut app stores typically take, but Japanese game studios have broader concerns. They have long been unhappy with what they see as Apple’s inconsistent enforcement of its own App Store guidelines, unpredictable content decisions and lapses in communication, according to Bloomberg.
