In the midst of the continuing conflict between Epic Games and Apple, a new challenger has appeared on the horizon. Google filed a counterclaim in the Epic Games lawsuit accusing them of breaching their contract by introducing a new payment system to sidestep Play Store's payment systems and Google's commissions.
According to the counterclaim, Epic willfully breached the terms of a contract that allowed Fortnite to reside in the Play Store by submitting a version of the app containing a payment method that was not Google Play billing for in-app purchases. And because of that, Google claims that they are owed relief.
