The epic reaches the settlement of mystery with Samsung Days before the new Galaxy phones

Last September, after the success of Google successfully to operate the illegal application store monopoly, Epic games filed a lawsuit against Samsung -Illegal conspiracy maker with Google to undermine third -party applications. The “automatic barrier” feature on Samsung Android phones, which was operated virtually, automatically prevents users from installing applications from stores that have not been delegated by Samsung, such as Epic’s Mobile Store.

Our only hint is from the CEO of EPIC Games Tim Sweeney, On xEpic saying a kind of confirmation of Samsung won in exchange for dropping its claims. “We reject the court’s case against Samsung in the wake of the parties’ discussions. We are grateful because Samsung will address EPIC’s concerns,” he writes.

But EPIC does not say how Samsung might treat its original concerns. Last September, SweEEEY explicitly put two ways that Samsung can do this: either 1) Changing the carbonn so that it is turned off by default, or 2) Create a “honest process in the white menu” that automatically allows honest applications through the Samsung barrier.

Epic will not confirm that Samsung has agreed to any of these things when we asked today. “Nothing is more to share behind the deposit file/X,” the Epic Commes Comments Elka director tells the director freedom.

Samsung did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Due to how the Samsung event that was dismantled within two days appear, I must wonder if the other shoe will decrease during the Samsung show. Will Samsung do an EPIC game store on his phones, perhaps? But this should not be satisfied with Sweeini, who has repeatedly said that he is fighting these lawsuits on behalf of all developers and not only his own store.

“If we fought Epic V. Apple and Epic V. Google Only on the basis of obtaining special privileges, the settlement discussions with Apple and Google may have been fruitful. ” Sweeini told me Last September, when I asked why Samsung did not ask for the epic gaming store approved. He said, “(i) and we did that, we will sell all developers.”

While EPIC has dropped its claims against Samsung today, it did not fall technically the lawsuit, which was filed against both Samsung and Google to start. The claims against Google will continue, at least at the present time: it concerns 8, 10 and 12 in a new complaint that was first modified.
