Alphabet Inc.’s CEO, Sundar Pichai, faces a crucial trial defending Google’s app store policies against Epic Games’ allegations. Epic, behind Fortnite, accuses Google of harming developers and inflating prices. Pichai’s testimony will address market power abuse claims. Epic aims to scrutinize Google Play, Android operations, deals with developers, and its relationship with Apple. The trial, set to continue into December, will also witness Epic’s CEO, Tim Sweeney, testifying. Allegations include Google’s obstruction of marketplace competition by paying off rivals and striking deals with phone manufacturers. This trial challenges Google’s policies and market dominance, impacting app distribution and pricing.
