Epic v. Google: everything we learned in Fortnite court
See all Stories
Here’s part of a longer email that Tim Sweeney sent to Google top brass on June 30th, 2020:
Dear Sundar, Hiroshi, Jamie, Don:
We would like to offer consumers the following features:
1) Competing payment processing options other than google play payments, without Google’s fees, in Fortnite and other epic games software distributed through Google Play;
2) A competing Epic Games Store app available through Google Play and/or through direct installation that has equal access to underlying operating system features for software installation and update as Google Play itself has, including the ability to install and update software without Google warning screens which discourage users from using third-party stores.
