Epic Games sues Google and Samsung for difficulties downloading Fortnite

Epic Games returns to the fray for Fortnite on mobile devices

First we had Epic Games itself denouncing Apple and Google, since both had removed Fortnite from their respective official stores.

Now it seems that the soap opera is not over, and when it seemed that everything was returning to relative calm, Epic Games has filed a lawsuit again, in this case against Google and Samsung for the difficulties they have put in getting Fortnite downloaded on their respective platforms.

In this case we can say that everything comes from Samsung mobiles, since it has been reported that The demand comes for the so-called Autoblocker that is included in these devices. This is something that is supposedly activated on all devices of this Korean brand, and that prevents any app from being installed outside of the Google Play Store and the Samsung Galaxy Store.

This way, We are talking about a way to prevent Fortnite from being installeda title that is installed from the Epic Games Store for mobile phones. According to Epic Games, the lawsuit is against Google and Samsung because they are supposedly working together to put all these obstacles on Fortnite end users on mobile devices.
