My favorite Google codename and Epic’s favorite evidence: “Project Hug.”
We’ve told you about Hug before, and now Epic’s telling the jury that 22 game developers “ultimately” made deals with Google that allegedly kept them from abandoning the Play Store, Bornstein claims.
“Some of them told Google they were going to compete against the Play store, and Google paid them not to do so.”
Bornstein admits “Google was too clever” to actually draw up contracts forcing devs not to compete with the Play Store but says Riot Games agreed not to compete.
