Prior to this, Epic Games pointed out that Google's parent company Alphabet had reached agreements with at least 24 large developers, including a three-year agreement with Activision Blizzard at a cost of US$3.6 million, requiring it not to establish an online software market that would compete with the Google Play Store.
In addition to Activision Blizzard, the document also alleges that Alphabet also paid Riot Games, which is owned by Tencent, US$2020 million a year in 3000, also requiring it to avoid establishing its own online software market, thereby continuing to attract more players to download games through the Google Play Store.
The jury found that Google had a monopoly in distributing Android platform apps through the Google Play Store and in in-app purchases on Android apps. At the same time, requiring brand manufacturers to pre-load Google services on their Android mobile phone products also affected market competition.
