‘Fortnite’ maker Epic Games is battling Google in court over app-store fees 2 years after largely losing a similar case against Apple::Epic Games is taking aim at the commissions that Google charges on digital purchases made within a mobile app.
I feel like they’re going to have a monumentally more difficult time on this one considering Android supports other playstores.
…and sideloading. That’s a thing on Android, right? Can’t Epic just make their own store for Android anyway?
And direct sideloading. Epic could offer the apk on their own site and process the payments directly themselves for free. It mostly seems they are complaining customers won’t buy as much stuff if they can’t use google pay, and they don’t want to offer it because it’s too expensive, which is inconvenient sure, but I don’t see it being enough to sue and win.
