        But if they force Google to open their app store, I hope that do it for fucking everyone.

        At least on Google devices you still can sideload apps, and fairly easy TBH. My biggest annoyance is the “you can’t buy stuff in apps without giving us a cut” which fucked up stuff like ebook apps etc

          Yeah, the Kindle app pretty blatantly tells you why they removed in-app purchases.

              That’s why we are surprised. But given this went through, maybe they could go for it again who knows.

              And it’s two companies fighting, how far did the anti monopoly pushes against apple and google get before Epic took them up because they were a profitable venture?
