Epic said Samsung’s Auto Blocker was designed to blunt the impact of a U.S. verdict that Epic won against Google in December 2023
« It’s about unfair competition by misleading users into thinking competitors’ products are inferior to the company’s products themselves », Epic Chief Executive Tim Sweeney told reporters.
« Google is pretending to keep the user safe saying you’re not allowed to install apps from unknown sources. Well, Google knows what Fortnite is as they have distributed it in the past. » Google did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Samsung said it planned to « vigorously contest Epic Game’s baseless claims.
