The skill-based gaming industry demanded government intervention to curb Google’s ‘arbitrary’ policies at a meeting called by a Parliamentary panel on July 21.

According to the gaming industry, Google prohibits Indian skill-games from being listed on its platform while allowing foreign gaming apps to list freely. The meeting was called by the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Finance, which is led by BJP MP Jayant Sinha, and was attended by top executives from homegrown tech startups such as Zomato, MakeMyTrip, and OYO. The panel is looking into big tech companies’ ‘anti-competitive behaviour.’ According to IANS, the gaming industry informed the panel that Google does not permit Indian online skill-based games, but the tech giant promotes its own platform Play Pass as well as other Chinese and international platforms.
