Google’s lawyers presented other documents that outlined the deal would bring more than $315 million in benefits to Activision.Īfter rejecting Google’s overtures, Epic tried to distribute Fortnite for Android through its own website. Sweeney’s appearance came after Epic’s lawyers had previously displayed Google documents showing Google had offered video game maker Activision Blizzard a package valued at $360 million to drop a tentative plan to compete against the Play Store. “Google was proposing a series of side deals, which seemed designed to convince Epic not to compete against them.” “It seemed like a crooked arrangement,” Sweeney told the jury. Sweeney said Google tried to entice him with a wide range of financial incentives, which he rejected. In his Monday testimony, Sweeney recalled how Google called him into its Mountain View, California, headquarters to try to persuade Epic to release Fortnite in the Play Store instead.

Unlike Apple’s iPhone app store, Google already allows competition to the Play Store - something that Epic tried to do when it decided to roll out Fortnite for Android phones in 2018 on its own website instead of the Play Store. Epic is appealing the outcome of the Apple trial to the U.S.

It’s similar to a payment system that Epic unsuccessfully challenged in a parallel lawsuit filed against Apple’s iPhone app store. Epic, the maker of the popular Fortnite game, alleges that Google has been engaged in illegal price-gouging by collecting commissions ranging from 15% to 30% on in-app digital transactions.
