at the Bloomberg Technology Summit that the company is launching a web-based store where you can download its mobile games and get add-ons or in-app purchases at a discount.

will only host its own games to start with, which means it will feature a lot of titles from Activision Blizzard. If you’ll recall, it snapped up the gaming developer and publisher in a $70 billion deal that closed last year.

and Apple charge, but they’d still have to pay the companies for bypassing their mobile platforms’ official stores. Both tech giants have already outlined how they’re changing things up to comply with the DMA regulations. The companies’ rivals found the changes they’re making insufficient, however, prompting the ********* Commission to start investigating their compliance plans.
