Epic sues Google again for making the Epic Games Store such a headache to install, and now it's dragged Samsung into the fight too

Peely from Fortnite with banana-fied Wolverine claws.

Having pulled out an unexpected win in its years-long courtroom with tech colossus Google, Epic Games has decided it wants another go-around, and this time it's dragging Samsung into the fight for good measure.

The issue turns on Epic's plan to launch its own store on Android devices, which will enable it to distribute its own games, and eventually others, without having to pay a huge cut in revenues. Epic is legally allowed to do so after its courtroom victory—and it has—but Google and Samsung, so Epic alleges, are making the process as difficult as possible in order to dissuade users from actually using it.
