San Francisco, Jan 30 (IANS) After Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney and Spotify CEO Daniel Ek, Microsoft has also criticised Apple App Store changes in the EU,
Sarah Bond, Microsoft's Xbox President, offered some brief thoughts on Apple's recent app store rules for the EU, calling them "a step in the wrong direction", and hope it will "listen to feedback"
"Apple's new policy is a step in the wrong direction. We hope they listen to feedback on their proposed plan and work towards a more inclusive future for all," she added.
The heads of Spotify, Epic Games and Microsoft's Xbox division have spoken out against Apple's proposed policies to comply with the EU's DMA.
The new App Store changes, announced ahead of the EU Digital Markets Act (DMA) in March, will require developers using third-party app stores to pay 0.50 euro for each annual app install after 1 million downloads.
