In a surprising turn of events, Judge James Donato is seriously considering Epic Games’ demands in the trial against Google. Despite initial skepticism, Judge Donato has ordered Google to calculate the costs of complying with Epic’s demands by June 24th, marking a potential shift in the case.
One of the biggest demands that Epic Games revealed in April was for Google to allow the Epic Games Store to exist within the Google Play Store and grant it access to every app in the store. This demand, if granted, would have far-reaching implications for the app store market.
Judge Donato’s decision to consider Epic’s demands could signal a significant shift in the power dynamics of the tech industry. If Google is forced to comply with Epic’s demands, it could set a precedent for other app developers to challenge the dominance of major tech companies.
Despite the ongoing legal battle, Epic Games has been working on a version of its game store for Android following its win in the trial. This demonstrates Epic’s determination to challenge the status quo and push for a more open and competitive app store market.
The trial between Epic Games and Google has taken a surprising turn with Judge Donato’s consideration of Epic’s demands. The outcome of this trial could have far-reaching implications for the tech industry as a whole. Whether Google will ultimately be forced to comply with Epic’s demands remains to be seen, but the trial is sure to have a lasting impact on the app store market.
