Epic Games Sues Google, Samsung for Protecting Google's Play Store

"Fortnite" video game maker Epic Games accused Alphabet's Google and Samsung, the world's largest Android phone manufacturer, of conspiring to protect Google's Play store from competition. Epic filed a lawsuit, in U.S. federal court in California alleging that a Samsung mobile security feature called Auto Blocker was intended to deter users from downloading apps from sources other than the Play store or Samsung's Galaxy store, which the Korean company chose to put on the back burner.
