Epic Games sues Google over antitrust claims

Epic Games, the maker of Fortnite, is taking Google to court over antitrust claims related to Google's Play Store's in-house payment system. Epic alleges that Google has been illegally driving up fees and restricting rivals. The trial begins today, with Epic seeking changes to Google's practices rather than financial compensation. This follows a similar case filed by Epic against Apple, where a California court found no antitrust violation but required Apple to allow apps to provide alternative payment options.
