India competition watchdog to investigate Google’s gaming app policy
India’s competition watchdog on Thursday ordered a probe into Google’s restrictive policies for real-money games on its platform, following a complaint by online gaming platform WinZO that called it discriminatory.
The move compounds Google’s regulatory headaches in India, where it has already been hit with at least two penalties for abusing its dominant position in the Android operating system market.
Google did not immediately respond to requests for comment made after working hours in India and with the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States.
