Google has lost its antitrust case against Epic Games, giving the Fortnite-maker its first big legal win since suing Apple and Google for allegedly running illegal app store monopolies.
The whole kerfuffle is years in the making. Back in 2020, Google and Apple removed Fortnite from their respective app stores after Epic began offering mobile players the option to purchase in-game currency, known as V Bucks, directly from Epic. This violated the app stores' policies, which require Apple and Google to get a percentage of these in-game sales on mobile.
