Epic vs Google: How ‘Project Hug’ may become the key aspect of the antitrust case

During the antitrust trial between Epic Games and Google, internal documents were presented that showed Google offering deals to game developers to keep them on the Google Play platform. Epic's lawyer argued that these deals were aimed at stifling competition from rival app stores and referred to Google's tactics as "bribe or block." Google defended itself, stating that the incentives offered to developers were legitimate ways of competing with other app stores. The trial also revealed discussions between Google and game developers about the possibility of launching competing app stores.
