Google vs Epic: What the companies said after the decision
In an ‘Epic’ win for Epic Games, the jury handed the Fortnite maker a win, saying that Google has an illegal monopoly in the app store market. Google has monopoly power in the Android app distribution and in-app billing services markets, it said. The jury also said that Google did anti-competitive practices such as illegal deals between distribution of its services to OEMs, terming them all anti-competitive. After the decision, both the companies released statements on the decision.
Google will appeal Epic decision
A Google spokesperson said that the company plans to challenge the verdict and it offers more choice than competing platforms.
