On July 31, local time in the United States, the long-term litigation dispute between Epic Games and Google about payment monopoly came to an end. Google's appeal, which was originally convicted of losing the case, was rejected by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and was not supported. Epic Games President Tim Sweeney posted a message to celebrate the complete victory!

· A brief review of the dispute between the two giants. In 2020, Epic Games decided to introduce its own payment system to its popular game "Fortnite", providing players with another way to avoid Google's original high handling fees, which caused Google to strongly resist and directly removed "Fortnite" from Google Play.

· Therefore, Epic Games' lawsuit against Google for compulsory use of Google's payment method was an unfair monopoly at that time, and after a long trial, all the jurors unanimously believed that Google violated the antitrust law. In October 2024, the court issued a final judgment, ruling that Google lost the case and ordered Google to allow game dealers to provide multiple payment methods.

·Then Google appealed, but now the finale has finally come. The court ordered Google to be technically prepared to access other platforms' payment methods before March 2026. However, since this judgment will only take effect in the United States for the time being, it is still unknown whether other countries and regions can be successfully implemented.
