But we saved everything 🙂.
Tim Sweeney, the author of the tweet, called for greater competition in digital app distribution on mobile devices, urging U.S. regulators to allow third-party stores such as Steam and Epic's own marketplace on iOS platforms. He argued that monopolies can be identified by excessive profit margins, lack of competition, and poor relationships with suppliers. Sweeney's remarks come amid an ongoing debate about Apple’s control over its App Store ecosystem and increasing regulatory scrutiny around antitrust issues. The wider technology industry continues to watch potential moves for regulatory intervention or policy change regarding digital marketplaces on mobile operating systems.
Sweeney previously clarified that Epic Games layoffs were not linked to employee performance. He emphasized that there is quality talent available in the market. The executive has recently used public statements and social media to address ongoing concerns facing the company and industry.
