      “Offer developers money or perks to launch their apps on the Play Store exclusively or first”

      I see Epic has a peculiar sense of humor.

      And it sounds like the difference between how the Apple case and this case went is that Apple never gave anyone a choice in the first place? What a fucking joke.

      This is exactly what needs to happen to the Apple App store.

      There are no good free apps on the App store. Everything is designed to force developers to monetize so that Apple gets a cut while making the developer look like the bad guy. It’s fucking genius, but also evil.

      That’s good but why are the rules so vastly different for Apple? This is a good change but Android was already several times more open with regards to apps from 3rd parties than Apple. So why the double standard here?

      This is dumb. So often our government lets monopolies a duopolies happen and then they do reactionary shit like this, which is just infringing on rights rather than fixing the monopoly or duopoly.

      Does that mean I can expect to be able to buy books directly from the kindle app again, for example?

      My read on this is that it’s ultimately going to be good for consumers, but puts Google at a severe disadvantage to Apple.

      What is it going to take for them to get rid of sundar pichai.

      Weird Google getting d on. But America’s favorite child Apple lives on.

      “Google also can’t:
      Offer developers money or perks to launch their apps on the Play Store exclusively or first“

      Pretty ironic coming from a decision on Epic v Google, if you ask me…

      So how do I have a galaxy app store or an Amazon app store on my Samsung Android then? Isn’t it already opened up? This on its face sounds dumb. Google already has a way for people to install external stores on their devices.
