Google has initiated legal action in response to Epic Games' lawsuit against both Apple and Google, following the removal of the Fortnite app from their app stores. This legal battle began after Epic Games implemented its own payment system, circumventing the traditional payment mechanisms enforced by both platforms. Epic Games has accused Google and Apple of anti-competitive practices by mandating developers to use their in-app purchasing systems. In its defense, Google asserts that Epic's actions not only breached their contract but also introduced potential security risks to the Google Play Store, which could be exploited by malicious entities. The outcome of Google's countersuit is pending, and the future of Fortnite on mobile platforms remains uncertain. Meanwhile, Apple, having won nine out of ten allegations in its legal confrontation with Epic, has decided not to reinstate Fortnite on the App Store until all legal issues are conclusively resolved, a process that could span years. This development casts doubt on the game's return to smartphones anytime soon.
