Epic is suing Google again for making the installation of the Epic Games Store so difficult, and now Samsung is also being dragged into the battle

After scoring an unexpected victory in the years-long court battle with tech giant Google, Epic Games has decided it wants another restart, and this time it’s dragging Samsung into the fray for good measure.

As funny as it is to imagine Epic CEO Tim Sweeney telling Tim Cook to “get more guys to make this a fair fight,” Samsung is actually at the heart of this particular lawsuit. The issue centers on Epic’s plan to launch its own store on Android devices, allowing it to distribute its own games, and eventually others, without taking a huge hit to revenue. Epic is legally allowed to do this after winning in court – and it has – but Google and Samsung, Epic claims, are making the process as difficult as possible to deter users from actually using it.
