A US judge ruled that Google must allow users to download competing third-party app platforms for three years, aiming to enhance competition and user choice.
The injunction required Google to permit in-app payment methods and to open its Play Store to rival sources, limiting their ability to restrict competition.
Judge Donato stated that a three-person committee will be formed by Epic and Google to monitor compliance with the order, indicating the seriousness of the ruling.
While changes satisfy some parties, Google warned of unintended consequences affecting consumers and developers, expressing intention to appeal the district court's ruling.
