Google reportedly muzzles Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney until 2032
Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney is reportedly bound by settlement terms with Google to speak positively about the company's app store operations until September 30, 2032. While Epic and Sweeney have been vocal critics of Google's practices, the recent settlement in their antitrust lawsuit includes a non-disparagement clause specifically related to app store distribution and fees. Following the settlement, Epic Games is bringing Fortnite back to the Google Play Store.
