A federal jury found Google violated antitrust law by imposing high fees and strict rules on app developers, leading to a judge's order for significant changes in its practices.
Judge Donato mandated that Google must allow developers to create their own app stores on Android and use their own billing systems, taking a significant step toward limiting Google's control.
Epic Games, emboldened by the ruling, has successfully pressed the court to enable it to bypass many of Google's restrictive practices, yet still must pay Google for security services.
Despite Judge Donato's ruling serving as a win for Epic, he noted that while Google would be forced to adapt its practices, it would still be able to impose reasonable fees based on actual costs.
