It looks as if Epic Games and Microsoft have mended their relationship, following comments by the former's founder Tim Sweeney. 1 / 7
Back in 2016, Sweeney listed a number of reasons for his dislike of Microsoft's current business model. 2 / 7
Sweeney initially stated that Microsoft's Universal Windows Platform (UWP) ecosystem wasn't up to industry standards. 3 / 7
Furthermore, he felt as if the OS were designed to slow down Steam in order to better promote Microsoft's Windows Store. 4 / 7
Now Sweeney is singing a different tune, claiming "we couldn’t be happier with the directions they’ve taken on all their platforms." 5 / 7
It probably doesn't hurt that Epic Games has launched its own digital storefront to take on Steam in the time since those comments. 6 / 7
