 Epic Games sues Google & Samsung for blocking it's new store

Epic Games makes the fun Fortnite game,
Samsung made the physical phone,
Google made the Play Store to leech huge fees, like 20%

Originally Epic sued Google, and Epic WON for their Monopoly of the Play store and ridiculous fees.  So Epic made their own "store" to distribute games. [1]

Despite the court ruling against them, corrupt Google and Samsung automatically block the Epic Games app, unless the user is smart enough to figure out how to turn it on in the settings. [2]

Google's propaganda team spews dribble about this being for security purposes, but as we reported earlier, the Play store has such rampant malware, that Google had to abandon it's security bounties because it couldn't afford to keep up. [3]

Now Epic games AGAIN is taking Google and Samsung to court to sue them over blocking their new store.
