Gaming industry seeks govt intervention against tech giants’ unfair policy

The skill-gaming industry has sought the intervention of the government to rein in the arbitrary policies of the monopoly global tech-giants. Sources said that the gaming industry body along with domestic tech firms like Makemytrip, Zomato, Oyo and others deposed before a Parliamentary Panel on July 21 about the unfair policies of tech giants.

The gaming industry reportedly brought out the illegal and biased policies of Google that prohibit the Indian skill-games platforms to list on its platform, while allowing a free hand to foreign gaming apps.

The Parliamentary Standing Committee, led by BJP leader and former Union Minister Jayant Sinha, had been examining the market dominance behaviour of global tech giants.
