Epic Games filed the initial lawsuit against Google in 2020, after the company removed Fortnite from the Play Store for allowing customers to use an alternative in-app payment system. Match Group later filed a suit against Google over the “exorbitant” store fee. The companies have consolidated their cases and filed a motion to expand their allegations, accusing Google of further antitrust violations by paying major developers hundreds of millions of dollars to keep their apps in the Play Store.
