Solving tackles about Fortnite? Google wanted to buy Epic Games

One would almost think that Google could or perhaps intends to solve any problem that may arise in this way. What are we talking about? About the practice of solving trouble with money and big purchases. And if that’s not enough, with even bigger bundles of money. A few hours ago, information surfaced that due to ongoing litigation between Google and Epic Games, the US technology giant intended giant game studio to buy. Among other things, to stop the ongoing scramble.

The message came from The Verge server, which refers to internal court documents. If you don’t remember the beginning of the big riots, the Epic Games studio started using its own system for performing microtransactions in its extra-popular game Fortnite. One that circumvented the rules of the Play Store as an expression of a negative attitude towards undermining the 30% share. Even before Google threw out his favorite game from the official database (it can still be installed, but from alternative sources), it had previously had plans to buy it. With the lawsuit, he was supposed to intensify these desires.

This was unbeknownst to us at the time, and because of the court’s protective order we’re just finding out now about Google’s consideration of buying Epic to shut down our efforts to compete with Google Play.https://t.co/HSS1edUrQm

With such a deal, the American giant would not only silence the other party (namely itself) and end the lawsuit, but would also he did not lose huge sums of money by returning the game to the Play Store. In the meantime, Google representatives still disliked the plans weaved between Epic Games and OnePlus, when games were supposed to appear pre-installed on the brand’s phones. That did not happen in the end. It appears that Google’s plans are out of date and the trial will continue.

How do you view the aforementioned 30% profit deduction rule?
