Epic Games Continues Legal Battles Against Tech Giants

Epic Games, the company behind the popular game Fortnite, has once again entered the legal arena to challenge restrictions on app stores. This time, the gaming giant has set its sights on tech giants Samsung and Google, filing a new lawsuit in its ongoing battle against anticompetitive behavior. The lawsuit comes on the heels of Epic's high-profile legal battle with Apple over its App Store policies.

Apple faces a looming deadline to produce what it says are more than 1 million documents related to recent App Store changes. The tech giant has been under pressure from Epic Games and other developers to make changes to its App Store policies, which they argue are unfair and anticompetitive. Epic Games reveals that it has filed a new lawsuit, this time against Samsung and Google, in its pursuit to end anticompetitive behavior.

In addition to its legal battles, Epic Games continues to make waves in the gaming industry with its popular game Fortnite. The company recently announced that the Epic Games Store has generated more than 10 million installs on mobile to date, with a goal of reaching 100 million installs. Epic has also announced the launch of its new unified Fab marketplace, which will bring together its various game assets.
