Jake Ward, chair of the Developers Alliance, criticized the EU's Digital Markets Act enforcement, which he claims escalates costs and bureaucracy for developers. In a statement reflecting on the European Commission's recent findings, Ward expressed concern that the regulatory environment has become increasingly burdensome, which is detrimental to app developers aiming to thrive in the market. He emphasized that focusing on restricting American companies instead of fostering local tech growth is counterproductive to revitalizing Europe's stagnant economy.
"It was harder yesterday to be an app developer in Europe than it was a year ago or a decade before that, and with today's findings it will get even harder and more expensive. The last thing developers need are higher prices and more red tape to access the European market."
"For more than a decade the EU has focused its attention and energy on stifling the success of American tech companies rather than supporting the future of the European tech sector. This is no way to grow a stagnant European economy, and it's no way to support app developers trying to operate a business."
