Epic Games' proposed injunction aims to make third-party app stores and sideloading an identical experience to using the Play Store.

  • After suing Google years ago for its alleged monopolistic practices regarding Android and the Google Play Store, Epic won in a surprise jury verdict last year.
  • As part of the decision, Epic has been tasked with submitting a proposed injunction to the court for consideration. In simpler terms, the court wants to know what changes Epic wants to see on the Google Play Store and Android.
  • The court filing comes a few weeks after Epic announced that it will bring the Epic Games Store to iOS and Android as an alternative app marketplace “later this year.”

    Basically, Epic doesn’t want Google to be able to offer anything that other competing app marketplaces can’t. That includes exclusive apps

    Kinda funny considering Epic has its own history of releasing games that are exclusive to its store.
