Epic Games vs. Google: The Battle in Court

TL;DR Summary
Epic Games has taken Google to court, accusing the tech giant of acting as a monopoly by charging a 30% commission on in-app purchases on the Google Play store. Google argues that there are alternative ways to download apps on Android phones and denies the claim of being monopolistic. This legal battle adds to the ongoing antitrust challenges Google is facing, including a separate case with the US justice department over alleged illegal monopoly in search. Epic Games previously took Apple to court with a similar case in 2021.
