Last September, after successfully tried Google for an illegal app store monopoly, epic sports also filed a lawsuit against Samsung, in which the fony maker was accused of illegally plotting with Google to weaken third -party app stores. The feature of an “auto -blocker” feature on Samsung Android phones, which was default, was automatically prevented from using apps from stores to appoints that have not been adopted by Samsung, such as Epic’s mobile store.
Our sole indication is from Tim Swini, CEO of Epic Games on X, which says Epic has received any assurance from Samsung in exchange for his claims. He writes, “We are rejecting our judicial case against Samsung after the parties’ debates. We are grateful that Samsung will address the epic concerns.”
But the epic is not saying how Samsung can solve its original concerns. Last September, Swini clearly offered two ways that Samsung could do this: either 1) replace the auto blocker so it may be default, or 2) create an “honest white listing process” that automatically allows honest apps through Samsung’s obstruction.
Epic will not confirm that when we asked today, Samsung has agreed with any of these two things. “There is nothing more to share ahead of the filing/x post,” said Epic’s senior senior commerous director. Stuffy.
Samsung did not immediately respond to the comment request.
Seeing how the Samsung packaged incident is coming out in two days, I must wonder if the second shoe will fall during Samsung’s offer. Will Samsung already load epic games on his phone, maybe? But it should not be satisfied with the Sweety, who has repeatedly said that he confronted these cases by all developers and not just his own store.
“If we fight Epic vs Apple And Epic vs Google He said that on the basis of getting special privileges to the epic and only, the debates with Apple and Google may be fruitful, “he said,” Swinn told me last September, when I asked why he didn’t just ask Samsung to make a competent source. ” (i) We did so, we will be selling to all the developers. “
Although the EPIC has abolished its claims against Samsung today, it has not released technically a case, which was filed against both Samsung. And To start Google. Claims against Google will continue, at least for the moment: they count 8, 10 and 12 in a very new first amended complaint that I have embedded below.
