The Epic vs. Google Case: Jury Finds Google Guilty of Anti-Competitive Conduct
In a recent court case, Epic Games emerged victorious against Google, with a nine-person jury ruling that Google engaged in anti-competitive behavior to maintain a monopoly over its Google Play app store. The specific penalties have yet to be determined as both parties have the option to appeal. Epic's main argument was against the high commissions charged by Google and Apple for in-app purchases and subscriptions, which they view as monopolistic and resulting in overpayment by consumers and reduced earnings for developers. Epic seeks to level the playing field in the mobile app ecosystem.
