How Fortnite Became a Legal Game-Changer

The developers of video game sensation Fortnite violated their contract with Google, making a case that the tech giant has a monopoly on the mobile gaming marketplace. Watch as corporate attorney Arianna Mendez tears down the Google Play Developer Distribution Agreement and explains how Epic Games is using litigation to bring about economic and social change. Considering that until recently, Fortnite fans couldn’t play on their mobile devices due the ongoing lawsuit, and the Google case is still pending, the stakes are high. Either the game developer will successfully overhaul how big tech operates in the global economy, or Google and Apple will continue setting industry terms. In what follows, we take a deep look at the Google Play Developer Distribution Agreement that Epic Games signed and then broke in order to spur a lawsuit. It’s an interesting case of one giant taking on another in an attempt to change the marketplace through contracts. Ultimately, the example shows that a contract is only as strong as each party’s intention to uphold their end. About Law Insider: We’re all about contracts!
