- Epic Games, developer of the popular video game 'Fortnite,' filed a lawsuit Thursday against Google, claiming its app store policies are anticompetitive.
- Google kicked 'Fortnite' out of its Play Store after Epic bypassed its ban on in-app purchases that don't use Google's own payment systems.
- Epic and other app developers have argued that the policy constitutes monopolistic behavior by unfairly advantaging Google.
- Epic also filed a lawsuit against Apple earlier on Thursday over its decision to boot 'Fortnite' from the company's App Store on similar grounds.
- Both companies' dominance in mobile app marketplaces has fueled antitrust concerns among lawmakers and regulators.
