Epic Games is challenging Google's practice of charging a percentage of the price for apps on its Android platform in a high-stakes antitrust lawsuit. Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney testified that Google's Android operating system is a 'fake open platform' and accused Google of thwarting app market competition. Court documents also revealed that Google considered partnering with Tencent to take over Epic. The lawsuit could allow competing payment systems on the Play Store, potentially impacting Google's control over the Android app.
