At trial, Epic argues Google “bribed” its way to an Android app monopoly

Google says "bribe is a pretty strong word" for efforts to court app developers.

@arstechnica Interesting, as Epic has bribed developers to bring their games to EGS as a bait-and-switch tactic (Metro Exodus is one infamous example), and bribed people to make EGS look better than Steam on social media.

@arstechnica This is pretty ironic because the only reason I have the Epic Games client installed on my PC is because I get a ton of free games.

(Yes, I know how rules about monopolies work. Goodness.)
