During a Y Combinator event, Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney condemned Apple and Google for their monopolistic behavior, calling them "gangster-style businesses" that prioritize profit over legal compliance. Sweeney noted that their practices deter users and developers from engaging with Epic's Games Store. He pointed out the outcomes of Epic's legal battles with these tech giants, highlighting the court's ruling against Apple which mandated more competitive practices. Yet, he continues to fight Apple in court over its alleged violations of that ruling.
"The sad truth is that Apple and Google are no longer good faith, law-abiding companies. They're run, in many ways, as gangster-style businesses that will do anything they think they can get away with."
"Epic won its case with Google but not with Apple. However, the court did require Apple to open up to more competition by forcing a change to its App Store rules."
