After enduring years of legal wrangling, Epic Games has inked a six-year cooperation pact with Google, valued at a staggering $800 million. While the nitty-gritty details of this partnership remain under wraps, it's clear that both entities will join forces on the Android front, collaborate on Unreal Engine initiatives, and embark on joint product development endeavors. This bombshell of a cooperation announcement came to light amidst a courtroom showdown where Epic accused Google of breaching antitrust laws, with the finer points of the deal being shrouded in secrecy. The head honcho at Epic hinted that the metaverse could be a focal point of this alliance. Flashback to 2020: Epic sidestepped Google Play Store's commission charges for Fortnite, leading to the game's ouster from Google's digital shelves. That very same year, Epic took Google to court, claiming the Google Play Store wielded monopolistic power.
