00:00Epic Games Settles Antitrust Case Against Samsung
00:03Epic Games has ended its legal battle with tech giant Samsung.
00:08Filed last year, it accused Samsung of working together with Google to prevent users from easily accessing competing app stores on Samsung phones.
00:17Epic's CEO announced the lawsuit's dismissal after discussions, but offered no details on possible changes.
00:23At the heart of the lawsuit was a Samsung feature called Autoblocker.
00:27According to Epic, this feature prevented users from downloading apps that didn't come from either the Google Play Store or the Samsung Galaxy Store.
00:36This settlement follows Epic's recent efforts to break into the app distribution space.
00:41Nearly a year ago, they launched their own app store for mobile games, hoping to give developers more freedom and better revenue-sharing deals.
00:48This isn't the first time Epic has taken on big tech.
00:51In 2023, they won a separate court case against Google, in which a judge agreed that Google had been unfairly limiting competition in its app store.
