Google's Epic Loss

Talk about an epic decision. Epic Games scored a huge victory in court on Monday, when the judge overseeing Epic’s antitrust case against Google essentially shattered the company’s Android app store monopoly. 

Among other things, the judge ruled that for the next three years, the tech giant can’t require developers to use only Google’s app payment methods. The judge also ruled that Google had to stop trying to block the installation on Android devices of rival app stores by, for example, offering inducements to carriers or phone makers. And the judge ruled that outside app stores have to be available in Google’s app store, Google Play.
