An error message on Fortnite (Twitter)Epic Games has filed a lawsuit alleging Google has created an illegal monopoly on Android apps primarily so it can boost its profits through commissions ranging from 15 per cent to 30 per cent on purchases made within an app.
“The result of what Google is doing is higher prices, lower quality and less choice for everybody,” Epic attorney Gary Bornstein said Monday during a 45-minute opening statement in early November before the 10-person jury that will decide the case.
Google attorney Glenn Pomerantz attempted to debunk the portrait of the company having a stranglehold on Android apps by outlining a wide gamut of competition from rival mobile and video game console stores, as well as Apple’s store for apps that run on its iPhone software.
“Because Google faces strong competition from Apple and others, it cannot be and is not a monopolist,” Pomerantz asserted in his opening statement.

One happy gamer (Getty Images)Google’s strategy to lean on Android’s competition with Apple and the iPhone in its trial with Epic is tinged irony. That’s because Google in September became immersed in the biggest U.S. antitrust trial in a quarter century — a case largely centred on payments that the company makes to Apple to ensure its dominant search engine automatically fields queries made on iPhones.
Epic’s allegations against Google mirror those levelled against Apple in a case that went to trial in May 2021.
Although a federal judge sided with Apple on most fronts in that trial, the outcome opened one potential crack in the digital fortress that the company has built around the iPhone.
The judge and an appeals court both determined Apple should allow apps to provide links to other payment options, a change that could undermine the commissions that both Apple and Google collect on digital purchases made within a mobile app. Apple is appealing that part of the ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court, where Epic is also challenging most elements of the case that it lost.
