Fortnite Maker Epic Games Accuses Apple Of Blocking Its Game Store Launch
Epic Games, the creator of "Fortnite," has accused tech giant Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) of obstructing its efforts to establish a games store on iPhones and iPads in Europe.
《堡壘之夜》的製作商Epic Games指控科技巨頭Apple Inc.（納斯達克：AAPL）阻撓其在歐洲iPhone和iPad上建立遊戲商店。
This marks the latest development in the ongoing dispute over Apple's control of the iOS app ecosystem.
這標誌着圍繞Apple對iOS應用程序生態系統的控制的持續爭端的最新進展。
Epic Games reported that Apple has twice denied its submission to launch the Epic Games Store, citing similarities in the design of certain buttons and labels to those used by the App Store, Reuters reports.
據路透社報道，Epic Games報告稱，Apple已兩次拒絕其提交申請，以啓動Epic Games商店，並指出某些按鈕和標籤的設計與應用商店使用的設計相似。
According to Epic, their use of "Install" and "In-app purchases" follows standard conventions seen across popular app stores on various platforms.
據Epic稱，他們使用的"安裝"和"應用內購買"遵循不同平台上流行應用商店的標準慣例。
They argue that Apple's rejection is arbitrary and violates the Digital Markets Act (DMA).
他們認爲，蘋果的拒絕是武斷的，並違反數字市場法（DMA）。
In March, under pressure from European regulators, Apple had agreed to allow Epic to set up its own game store on iOS devices in Europe. However, the current impasse suggests ongoing friction between the two companies.
今年3月，受歐盟監管機構的壓力，Apple同意允許Epic在歐洲iOS設備上建立自己的遊戲商店。然而，當前的僵局表明兩家公司之間持續的摩擦。
