Epic have cracked open the walled garden in one part of the world (EU).

Epic is just Tencent which is an organ of the Chinese state. They might have been able to break open Apple like an egg in Europe but the final boss battle is going to be much harder for them.

This is total nonsense, Tencent only has a minority stake in Epic, like they do with most other gaming companies.
