Epic CEO Tim Sweeney has entered into a controversial agreement with Google that restricts his ability to criticize the tech giant until 2032. The binding term sheet, part of a settlement with Google, prohibits Sweeney from suing or disparaging the company and requires him to publicly support Google’s app store practices and acknowledge Google and Android as procompetitive platforms.
Under the terms of the contract, Sweeney must defend the deal in courts worldwide and ensure his statements align with the agreement. While Epic can still participate in the “Coalition for App Fairness,” a group primarily targeting Google and Apple, Sweeney’s focus must now solely be directed towards Apple.
