WASHINGTON: Epic Games on March 6 called on the EU to swiftly enforce its major new law governing big tech after Apple halted the Fortnite-maker's effort to develop a competing app store for its devices.

"We see Apple's decision to block us from competing as a blatant effort to kneecap their leading competitor as enabled by the DMA," Epic CEO Tim Sweeney told reporters.
