American game development company Epic Games has filed an antitrust lawsuit against Google, alleging that it has abused its power in the Android market. In the ongoing case since 2020, the judge ruled that Google must offer more options for app distribution. Google was asked to remove restrictions that hinder competition with "Google Play" and block rival markets.
GOOGLE PLAY WILL CHANGE FROM NOVEMBER 1
In this context, Google will not be able to pay companies to launch their apps exclusively on Google Play for three years starting from November 1. Additionally, Google will not be able to force app developers to 'not compete' and will not be able to compel them to use Google Play billing. The app store will also include third-party Android app stores.
DISPUTE STARTED IN 2020
The dispute between Google and Epic Games began in August 2020, when Epic released updates for its Fortnite game and allowed its customers to be billed directly for in-app purchases instead of using app stores. Subsequently, Google quickly removed Fortnite from the app stores, and Epic Games filed a lawsuit against the company for the ability to implement direct billing and install the Epic store on smartphones without limitations.
