Let’s quickly summarize what has happened so far to get you up to speed, like a sort of “Previously on” because this story is quite something. First, ‘Fortnite<\/a>‘ appeared as just another app in the App Store and Play Store. Then, when Epic started offering better rates for purchasing V-Bucks, its in-game currency, on the company’s own website, both Google and Apple abruptly removed it from their stores<\/strong>. Now, the developer has taken Google to court following the one they had with Tim Cook’s company. The most interesting aspect hasn’t been the outcome itself, but rather observing the internal chaos within the once-search engine (now a current monopoly).<\/p>\n\n\n

Seeking to establish a presence on Google<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

And it turns out that Epic has shown, without breaking a sweat, that Google has destroyed evidence in the trial<\/a>, erased chats, and even forced employees to hide their conversations<\/strong> in case they said anything legally sensitive. In fact, they’ve even noticed that Google’s chat system includes a tool that allows employees not to save conversation history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And you might say, “So what?” Well, doing this while they’re in court because of ‘Fortnite’ doesn’t look good at all. They could have saved all the chats to prove they have nothing to hide<\/strong>, but surprise, surprise, they didn’t. In fact, Google<\/a>‘s Information Manager couldn’t even guarantee that these deleted conversations wouldn’t have served as evidence or contradicted the trial testimonies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
