Tim Sweeney: Apple policy challenged by user-made content in gaming platforms
Apple policy on game content questioned

Questions over Apple’s App Store policy regarding platforms hosting multiple games have drawn fresh attention. In a recent tweet, Tim Sweeney referenced the case of XCloud being blocked, apparently for carrying multiple games in a single app. However, Sweeney noted that during legal testimony, Phil Schiller stated that user-generated content within titles like Fortnite Creative and Roblox was compliant with Apple’s existing policies. This suggests a distinction in how Apple handles third-party gaming services versus games that allow user-created experiences.

Sweeney has previously commented on developments that open up third-party app distribution. He noted that Google Play's recent U.S. policy allows third-party stores to offer Play apps and games. Sweeney has also tracked the impact of technology decisions by major platforms on developers and users.
