Google's loss to Epic Games in an antitrust case could lead to significant financial costs and potential changes in the fees it charges on app sales and in-app purchases. The judge overseeing the case, U.S. District Judge James Donato, is an antitrust veteran. However, a lengthy appeals process is expected to delay any immediate changes. The ruling has sparked reactions from Indian startup founders and app developers, who anticipate ripple effects, particularly in India where Google is under scrutiny for anticompetitive practices. The implications of Epic's win over Google for the mobile industry and the app economy are being closely watched, with some speculating on potential restructuring within Big Tech companies and its impact on venture funding for app startups.
