Restrictive contracts fuelled profits for Google and Apple and led to higher prices for app users, the firm behind the popular game Fortnite has claimed in a landmark court case.
Epic Games has filed two lawsuits against the tech giants, claiming they engaged in anti-competitive and unconscionable conduct against those developing apps distributed through iOS and Android devices.
"Epic is not alone in harbouring dissatisfaction with the anti-competitive conduct that Apple and Google have been engaging in," the firm's barrister Neil Young QC said on Monday.
