Recently revealed court documents show that Google proposed a whopping $147 million deal to Epic Games, for the launch of the widely popular title Fortnite, on the Google Play Store. The deal, which Epic Games ultimately turned down, was intended to deter a possible "contagion" of well-known apps circumventing Android's official store and Google's in-app purchase fees. The ongoing legal tussle between these two titans highlights the power dynamics and varying approaches in the gaming industry.
