Following its antitrust win against Google last year, Epic is now going after both Samsung and Google for allegedly conspiring to set up what it says is a similarly anti-competitive scheme on its Galaxy smartphones.
Epic’s newly filed federal lawsuit focuses on Samsung’s Auto Blocker feature, a setting designed to prevent Galaxy smartphone users from downloading “unauthorized” apps from third-party sources such as the recently launched Android version of the Epic Games Store. Introduced last year as an opt-in feature, the Auto Blocker feature is now activated by default during the initial setup of a Samsung phone following a July system update (the feature can be turned off with a simple toggle during setup or in the phone’s settings afterward).
