Epic Games Takes Legal Action Against Google & Samsung Over Play Store Policies – South Korean Manufacturer Responds
In a bold move, the maker of popular online game Fortnite, Epic Games, has filed lawsuits against tech giants Google and Samsung over their Play Store rules. The lawsuits allege that both companies have unfair and anti-competitive policies that restrict user choice and stifle innovation.

In response to the lawsuits, a spokesperson for the South Korean manufacturer stated that they are committed to fostering a fair and competitive environment for app developers and users. They emphasized the importance of allowing developers to have more control over their own products and pricing, and expressed their support for Epic Games’ efforts to challenge the status quo.
The legal battle between Epic Games and Google/Samsung is set to be a major showdown in the tech industry, with potentially far-reaching implications for app developers and users alike. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
