Apple's Struggle Against EU Regulations Continues | Microcast

The newest GamesIndustry.biz Microcast has been released, featuring Chris Dring and James Batchelor as they delve into the most significant stories in the video game business. This week's discussion centers around Apple's brief attempt to ban Epic Games' developer account, a move that would have prevented Fortnite's return to iOS and hindered the launch of Epic's app store. However, this incident is part of Apple's broader efforts to resist the European Union's new regulations, including the Digital Markets Act. Additionally, the episode touches on the $2.4 million settlement between Nintendo and the developers of the Switch emulator Yuzu, as well as Warner Bros' comments on the volatility of the console market and the potential of live service games over single-release titles like Hogwarts Legacy. The episode can be streamed via the embedded player, downloaded as an audio podcast, or subscribed to through various platforms such as Spotify, iTunes, and Google Play. Video versions are available on the GamesIndustry.biz YouTube channel and a dedicated playlist. The episode was edited by Alix Attenborough.
