Epic won antitrust lawsuit vs. Google again.

Epic Games just scored a massive win! The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a jury's unanimous verdict declaring that Google’s app store and payments system operate as illegal monopolies. They’re gearing up to roll out a permanent injunction that will shake things up for Android, allowing third-party stores to enter the game. Epic's CEO, Tim Sweeney, celebrated this as a “total victory,” and they’re set to launch the Epic Games Store within Google’s platform. Say goodbye to those exclusive deals that held them back!

Now, Google plans to appeal, but the clock is ticking. While they fight, they won’t be able to shield their Play Store from consequences. This decision could force Google to open its app store for the next three years, allowing competition and restricting shady practices like enforcing Google Play Billing for all apps. Epic's battle against the giants continues to reveal just how deep the rivalry goes, especially after the jury saw shocking evidence of Google’s tactics to maintain control over the market. Buckle up, folks; this tech showdown is just getting started!
