He will even run it if it stops Apple

The CEO of Epic Games Tim Sweeney has called for a universal app store that works across all platforms which will "stop Apple."

He even suggested that Epic Games manage the store across iOS, Android, Xbox, PC, Nintendo and Sony, but leaving that aside it is probably a good idea.

Sweeney said that the world really needs now is a single store that works with all platforms.

Talking to the gathered throngs at the Global Conference for Mobile Application Ecosystem Fairness in Seoul, South Korea, Sweeny said: "Right now software ownership is fragmented between the iOS App Store, the Android Google Play marketplace, different stores on Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch, and then Microsoft Store and the Mac App Store."

Sweeney added that Epic Games is working with developers and service providers to create a system to allow users "to buy software in one place, knowing that they'd have it on all devices and all platforms."
