NEW RIVAL FOR EPIC GAMES: Google demands Fortnite s authors for breaking the Play Store Agreement

The battle between Epic Games and mobile application stores continues, and perhaps this insistence by parents Fortnite them has been a more difficult situation . Since Google, after being accused and criticized at the beginning of the race for his famous rate of 30%, has ended up filing a lawsuit against Epic Games for breaking the agreement Play Store , its application store. In this regard, Google s intentions do not go beyond economics, as it seeks to recover the money lost when Fortnite opened its payment gateways few months ago.

Epic Games has been unjustly enriched at the expense of Google Google Google, like Apple s, gives the possibility developers to publish their applications on the official company store, Play Store, as long as they can stay with 30% of payments made by users for each application. Recapitulating minimally, Epic Games broke this agreement to the open new avenues payment Fortnite , allowing obviate the rate of 30% for Google, and therefore, the company believes that Epic Games has been unjustly enriched expense of Google , as indicated in its application.

Users choose this store when given a series of channels and applications on Google Android In addition, and to the contrary of what happens with Apple, Google reiterates that do not force developers to publish their applications Play Store, since the company platform is more open systems that allow the entry of similar stores. In his words, they choose this store when given a series of channels and Android applications. Google supports the choice from Android, Google Play policies and agreements with Google developers and device manufacturers own .

Therefore, after criticizing Google for its policies Play Store, it seems that Epic Games will face the company in a trial, which adds to that already underway against Apple by the same circumstances . In the past, Google thought about buying Epic Games as a strategy to prevent the formation of more legal problems, but it is clear that this pathway was rejected, which has led us to today s counterclaim.

Epic Games will create an entertainment department to create audiovisual content Of course, court battles Epic Games have generated earthquakes both in their own offices and policies Apple and Google. Since, in this sense, has confirmed that the two companies should open avenues of external payments in Korea, while Apple will also be required to do so in the US However, the creators of Fortnite have not gone very successfully overcome the strife, as the company on the block will prevent them from republishing their star game on the App Store until completion of all judicial proceedings .

And, perhaps, so much war in the area of ​​the game has led to Epic Games seriously consider creating a film of Fortnite. Since, as we learned a few hours ago, the company Tim Sweeney wants to create entertainment division to produce audiovisual content, which would allow them to expand their brand to other markets. For now, they get to know the results of all trials that generated Epic Games with his supposedly revolutionary movement, but everything indicates that there will be no winner.
