Comment on Epic win: Jury decides Google has illegal monopoly in app store fight
helenslunch@feddit.nl 11 months agoWhy would they sue Google instead of just saying “nah”? Did Google do something to prevent them from having their own in-app purchases from their own app store?

Google banned Fortnite from the app store along with Apple and that’s what caused Epic to sue both of them in the first place.

It’s more that Epic added their own payment system to the app, Google and Apple both responded by removing the app, and then Epic sued them both and even aired a special presentation in Fortnite. All in the same day. Epic intentionally did this.

Well, Epic instigated them to ban the app so they could claim the ban as a tort under competition law.
