Chris Tapsell is Eurogamer's Deputy Editor and most decorated Football Manager. He used to write guides, and will send you links to his favourite spreadsheets if you ask him about League of Legends or competitive Pokémon.

Back in September of 2023, the European Union officially designated Apple a"gatekeeper" under the Digital Markets Act , stipulating that it must open its App Store on iOS in a number of ways, including adding the ability to"side-load" apps from the web rather than the store, to have other storefronts available, and more.

Persson heads up Epic's efforts with Lego Fortnite, Unreal Editor For Fortnite , Fortnite Creative, and the"Creator Economy 2.0". Like Sweeney, he's also candid and openly opinionated about the dispute with Apple, noting that Epic very much expects the company to further relent on issues of compliance with the DMA. One issue was those apparent 15 steps to side-loading apps. Does Epic hope that gets better?"We're betting on it, yeah," Persson said.

Much of what Epic hopes to do here, and to which Persson is seemingly referring when he mentions the ways in which Epic is"restricted", comes back to the notion of the"metaverse".

"My view is like, if there was a better word we would go for it. But there's just no better concept for what it is we're trying to propose - that Fortnite as it is right now is incredible."
