The storefront is also trying to get the highest-grossing mobile game developers to distribute their games on Epic Games Store. However, Apple’s iOS Core Technology Fee (CTF) has been standing as a big challenge. To fill you in, Apple requires the developers to pay €0.50 per install after the game crosses 1 million downloads on a third-party store.
While this €0.50 fee may seem small, a popular game can make the developer pay an unmanageable amount if it’s installed millions of times. To make things easier for the developers, Epic Games Store has announced that it will pay Apple’s CTF for one year. While this is not a “financially viable” move, the firm hopes that the EU Commission will soon investigate Apple for its non-compliance with the Digital Markets Acts for this.
