When furious Google fought fierce battle over Fortnite app against Epic Games

Fortnite online game-maker Epic Games has filed a lawsuit against both Apple and Google last year after it was kicked out of the App Store and the Google Play Store respectively for introducing a payment system that sidestepped the in-app purchase commissions for the two companies. Now, newly unsealed court documents have revealed that the case had so infuriated Google that it had even considered buying ‘some or all’ of Epic Games as the two companies battled over Fortnite Android app not paying commission to Google Play Store.

Epic Games in its complaint against Google has claimed that the tech giant was threatened by its plans to sidestep Google’s official Play Store commission by distributing Fortnite through other channels.
