Epic Games Wins Partial Antitrust Case Against Apple, Google in Australia

Epic Games Wins Partial Antitrust Case Against Apple, Google in Australia

Imagine two giant stores, Apple and Google, where everyone buys apps for their phones.

Epic Games, the makers of Fortnite, thought these stores were being unfair to other app developers.

Epic said they had to use the stores' payment methods and follow their rules, which was like the stores having too much power.

The court in Australia agreed with some of Epic's arguments, saying Apple and Google misused their power.

However, the court did not agree with all of Epic's complaints.

Now, the judge will decide what Apple and Google have to do as a result.

Both companies disagree with the court's decision and may try to appeal it.
