While Microsoft is building an Xbox mobile store, it will need regulators to take action against Apple and Google to ensure such a store can thrive on Android and iOS devices. Apple doesn’t allow alternative stores on its iPhone and iPad devices, and even rival payment methods aren’t available in most countries.

Companies like Microsoft and Spotify are hoping the EU’s Digital Markets Act will force Apple and Google to change how they distribute apps on mobile devices, and ultimately open their platforms and stores up to competition.



it's hilarious that you, someone who claims to be anti-government overreach, would support something like this.


you might as well ask sony to allow game pass on playstation and playstation+ on xbox.

Well yes, those are certainly possibilities.

This is a pretty funny comment from someone who clearly wants government to block the MS/ABK deal. Regardless, I never said whether or not I agree with it. I simply said what their strategy is.

The reality is that governments widely oppose Apple's and Google's duopoly on app stores. Whether I support or oppose government action there is completely irrelevant. It's clearly going to be happening.
