Epic Games sues Google and Samsung for auto-blocking Fortnite download
Epic Games is suing Google again, along with Samsung, for allegedly making the EGS install procedure prohibitively difficult on mobile.
Epic Games revealed today that its filing another anti-competition lawsuit, this time against two major tech companies: Google and Samsung. As the complaint reads: “The intended effect of Auto Blocker is clear: it would undo the remedies the Court imposes on Google and doom any attempt to open for competition the market for Android AppDistribution… Epic brings this case with the sole purpose of preventing Defendants’ anticompetitive actions from undoing Epic’s successful antitrust litigation against Google and negating the long overdue promise of competition in the Android App Distribution Market.” During a briefing with the press, Sweeney said he’d be satisfied with either the Auto-Blocker switched to being off by default, or by Samsung implementing a transparent and easy whitelisting procedure to allow honest apps to bypass it.
