Android developer class action suit targets Play Store and its 30% transaction fee

Android developer class action suit targets Play Store and its 30% transaction fee

+Epic Games started legal war against Apple and Google for charging 30% revenue share those companies make on every app and in-app purchase.

Every developer finds themselves paying so much extra then it should be for using payment methods of Android and iOS. But they don't usually file a suit.

But Now, one law firm is attempting to file class-action litigation against Google.

Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, a Seattle-based practice which specializes in class actions, has filed a complaint.

With federal district court in San Jose against Google for establishing an effective Android app store monopoly.

Putting in the anti-competitive practices such as the 30% split and a product pricing minimum of 99 cents.

Unlike the Epic lawsuit, Hagens Berman is seeking monetary damages.

Developers can sign up to become part of the class with this form, but a judge will have to greenlight this charge before things start to really roll.
