Epic Games, supported by the massive success of Fortnite, has spent the past few years throwing elbows in the mobile industry to obtain its app store on more phones. He marked an antitrust victory against Google at the end of 2023, and the following year, he went after Samsung for deployed “Auto Blocker” on his Android phones, which would make users more difficult to install the Epic Games store. Now the games settled the case just a few days before Samsung unveils its last phones.
The drama Epic Store started several years ago when the company challenged Google and Apple. Fortnite. The two stores pulled the application and Epic continued. Apple came out victorious, with Fortnite Only return to the iPhone recently. Google, however, lost the case after Epic showed that it worked behind the scenes to thwart the development of application stores like Epic.
Google is still working to avoid penalties in this long -standing case, but Epic thought he felt a plot last year. He filed a similar complaint against Samsung, accusing him of having implemented a functionality to block third -party application stores. The problem comes down to adding a functionality to Samsung phones called Auto Blocker, which is similar to Google’s new advanced protection in Android 16. It protects against USB attacks, deactivates the seizures of links and analyzes applications more often for a malicious activity. Most importantly, it blocks the application key download. Without the key breeding, there is no way to install the Epic Games store or one of the inside content.
