Fans of the Xbox gaming platform will probably have a big reason to celebrate next year, as a new digital market law will come into force in the European Union, which AppAmong other things, it will order to allow third-party game and application stores to enter its platforms, which will ultimately be exempt from sales fees or strict control by Applu. And it is this opportunity that he wants to take full advantage of. Microsoft, which has now been confirmed by the head of its gaming division, Phil Spencer, in an interview with Financial Times.

However, it is worth adding in one breath that this change will be more than pleasant, because users should be able to benefit from it in a truly grand style. It was, for example, the reluctance of companies to pay considerable fees that caused users to have to pay for some things on their own. iPhonehave been denying until now.
