Perhaps the Chocolate Factory didn't feel like staring down 36 state AGs with two other competition cases pending

The original wide-ranging complaint included arguments that Google abused its market-dominant position by taking a 30 percent commission on app and in-app purchases, requirements that developers use Google's own payment processing system and other"Google's anticompetitive conduct harms consumers and app developers, both at the point of app distribution and when a consumer later purchases in-app digital products," the original complaint argued in part.

The decision to settle this case didn't come with much in the way of information from the parties involved – court documents only state that the agreement had been reached and asked for a future trial date of November 6 to be vacated along with suspension of pre-trial deadlines. If the court doesn't accept the settlement,"the parties shall be returned to their respective litigation positions" and the trial will go on.

No settlement amount was mentioned, and it appears that only"US state and territories as well as the named consumer plaintiffs" are party to the settlement. That means several corporate plaintiffs on the suit, including Epic Games and dating website Match, appear to not be giving up the fight. Neither company's lawyers responded to questions.
