Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney has claimed Google offered him what “seemed like a crooked arrangement” in order to persuade the company to release Fortnite in the Google Play Store rather than through its own website.
Sweeney made the statement when he took to the witness stand yesterday in the ongoing trial between Epic and Google.
As reported by AP, Sweeney described a meeting between himself and Google at the latter’s headquarters to discuss an agreement which would see Epic release Fortnite on the Play Store. “It seemed like a crooked arrangement,” Sweeney said. “Google was proposing a series of side deals which seemed designed to convince Epic not to compete against them,” he continued.
