[paul]

Pe modelul Epic Games, Inc. v. Apple, Inc., Epic a dat in judecata si Google.

Pe forum am scris despre asta aici, aici, aici si aici.

Original complaint: COMPLAINT FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF (.pdf). Amended complaint: FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF (.pdf).

1. Pentru a scapa de acuzatiile de monopolizare a pietei, Google a vrut sa cumpere Epic Games - gov.uscourts.cand.364325.159.5.pdf (.pdf):
- "has even contemplated buying some or all of Epic to squelch this threat."

2. Games Futures - 2025-2021-google-vision-game-plan-multiplatform.pdf (.pdf):
- a tentative five-year plan to create what Google dubbed “the world’s largest games platform.”

3. Project Hug, mai tarziu Apps and Games Velocity Program - gov.uscourts.cand.364325.165.1.pdf (.pdf):
- Google a platit milioane de dolari altor companii pentru a nu se ajunge in aceeasi situatie cu Fortnite, sa plece din Play Store
- “hundreds of millions of dollars on secret deals with over 20 top developers”
- "By the end of 2020, Google had signed deals with most of its Project Hug targets — most notably Activision Blizzard"
