In a landmark decision, the jury in the Epic Games vs Google case has unanimously ruled that Google Play and the Play Billing service constitute an illegal monopoly.
The verdict comes three years after Epic Games initiated legal action against both Apple and Google, accusing them of maintaining unlawful app store monopolies.
The jury – after just a few hours of deliberation – affirmed that Google holds monopoly power in the Android app distribution and in-app billing services markets. Additionally, they found that Google engaged in anticompetitive practices within these markets, causing harm to Epic Games.
The verdict also highlighted an illicit tie between Google’s app store and its billing payment services; labelling various distribution agreements and deals with game developers and OEMs as anticompetitive.
