Microsoft Accuses Apple of Blocking Cloud Gaming Profits
Corporate Giants Clash Over Fees
In a recent filing with the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), Microsoft has accused Apple of obstructing effective monetization in cloud gaming.
Microsoft argues that Apple's 30% commission fees render economic viability impossible for their cloud gaming services. This issue likely revolves around Game Pass subscriptions, which Apple does not allow to bypass the Apple Store, even imposing fees in some cases.
With both companies being billion-dollar giants, the ongoing dispute highlights challenges in the digital marketplace.
Key Points
- Microsoft files complaint with CMA.
- Apple’s policies hinder Game Pass profit.
- 30% commission deemed unjustifiable by Microsoft.
