The Epic Games is taking legal action against Google and Samsung over the Auto Blocker feature on Samsung devices. Epic argues that this feature hinders fair competition by preventing the installation of alternative app stores, such as the Epic Games Store. The company claims that the Auto Blocker makes the process of installing external apps extremely complicated, requiring a 21-step process. Additionally, Epic alleges that Samsung’s classification of their apps as unknown and unsafe harms their reputation and results in financial losses. This lawsuit is part of the ongoing antitrust dispute between Epic and Google, with Epic seeking to uphold a previous victory against Google’s anti-competitive behaviors.
