Re: With Google removing Fortnite and also being sued

"I would imagine that Apple and Google would try to get the cases conjoined and then they could fight Epic together.""

Well, that would be intereseting, wouldn't it? Right now, Google and Apple can play the card of "we're part of a bigger market, so how can either of us have a monopoly?"

Now I'm no lawyer, but I imagine that if the cases were joined in such a manner, when combined with the near simultaneous kick-out of Fortnite from both the official app ecosystems, could potentially be argued as a cartel action, immediately destroying the "part of a bigger market" defence.

Definitely popcorn time...
