MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The last-minute decision leaves Google scheduled to go up against Fortnite publisher Epic Games alone in an antitrust trial that starts next week, with Epic alleging that Google Play’s payment policies are anticompetitive.
Match sued Google in May 2022, alleging the company “illegally monopolized the market” for app distribution with Google Play and imposed an “extortionate tax” with the fees it takes from transactions on the marketplace.
Its claims dovetailed with an existing complaint from Epic as well as a coalition of state attorneys general.
“We are pleased to reach a settlement agreement with Match Group,” Google spokesperson Danielle Cohen says in a statement to The Verge.
“This ensures we can continue to provide our shared users the secure, seamless and high quality experience people expect from apps on Google Play while maintaining Google’s ability to invest in the Android ecosystem and deliver value across an app’s full lifecycle.”
Coalition for App Fairness, an organization it spearheaded alongside Epic, didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment.
