TECH - Tim Sweeney Says Some People Called Him 'Conspiracy Theorist' But Now They Know The Truth About Google | Benzinga
On Tuesday, a federal jury gave a verdict in favor of Fortnite-parent Epic Games in an antitrust lawsuit against tech behemoth Alphabet Inc.’s (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Google. Now, Tim Sweeny says he knew about most of what Google was doing “behind the scenes.”
What Happened: In this landmark ruling, the jury determined that Google illegally monopolized Android app distribution and Google Play billing system, marking a win for Epic Games and developers worldwide and the first significant antitrust ruling against a tech company since the ’90s.
Sweeney, CEO of Epic Games, has been leading this legal charge against the tech giant’s control over app distribution. In an interview with The Verge, Sweeney expressed satisfaction with the verdict, stating, “It was just awesome to see that the justice system works, even with the most complex type of tech antitrust case that you can possibly throw at a jury.”
