Why the verdict in Google vs Epic may be ‘bad news’ for Apple
In a landmark antitrust case, a US jury ruled against Google, finding that the company engaged in anti-competitive conduct and harmed Epic Games. The decision poses a major threat to the app store duopoly held by Google and Apple. Both companies charge up to a 30% cut on app store transactions, generating close to $200 billion annually. Epic Games CEO sees this verdict as a turning point, predicting the end of the 30% fees in the industry. The lawsuit originated from Epic's decision to bypass the commission fees charged by Apple and Google in Fortnite.
