Following an antitrust win, Epic Games has proposed significant reforms to the Google Play Store's policies after a jury found Google had misused its dominant position in the app market. The 'Fortnite' creator is pressing a federal judge in California to mandate Google to allow more competition within its Play Store for six years. This includes opening up to alternative payment systems and permitting the distribution of competing third-party app stores. Epic Games' demands also extend to limiting Google's ability to make exclusive agreements with device manufacturers that would prevent the preloading of alternative app stores. This legal action follows a broader trend of scrutiny over the practices of major tech companies in managing their app distribution platforms.
