CCI orders probe into Google’s game download policy for alleged dominance abuse

Live Mint  

New Delhi: Competition Commission of India on Thursday ordered an investigation into Google's policies on download of apps from Google Play, its app store, and on Google denied the allegations in its response to CCI’s queries, the order issued by the competition watchdog showed. The mobile gaming platform alleged that Google Play, which hosts third-party app developers, restricts download of apps offering real money games of skill and, therefore, these games have to be downloaded from their websites, known as ‘sideloading.’ The gaming platform alleged that when users access their website for sideloading them on android devices, a disclaimer or malware warning is displayed. It also alleged that Google allowing seamless download of two real money games on its play store as part of a pilot programme while showing warnings during sideloading other apps on android devices will have the effect of eliminating level-playing field. “On a holistic consideration of the facts and circumstances of the present case, the Commission is of the prima facie view that Google appears to be in violation of” three sections the Competition Act dealing with ‘abuse of dominance’, which “warrants detailed investigation.” “Given this fragmented regulatory framework, allowing all real money games to be distributed on play store would expose Google to legal risk under the gaming laws of some states and the amended IT Rules. Google also told CCI that the legal and regulatory uncertainty in offering real money games in India has influenced its decision not to include India in the list of countries where these are allowed.
