The decision by the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which upheld a lower court's ruling, found that Google's Play Store operates as an illegal monopoly. The court ordered Google to allow third-party app stores and payment options, effectively dismantling the company's dominance over the Android app market [2].
The ruling, which was celebrated by Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney, mandates that Google must permit the distribution of rival app stores through the Play Store and grant them access to its app catalog. This move is expected to break Google's monopoly and foster competition in the Android app market [2].
The Epic Games Store, currently available worldwide on the Epic Games website, will now be accessible to a broader audience through the Google Play Store. This expansion is anticipated to boost the store's user base and attract more developers to its platform [1].
The move is part of a broader antitrust scrutiny facing Google, with additional cases regarding its online search and advertising practices pending in federal courts. The company has vowed to continue its legal fight, appealing the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court [3].
Investors in Epic Games include Tencent, KKR, Disney, and Sony, who have been closely monitoring the developments in the antitrust case. The ruling is expected to have a profound impact on the competitive landscape of the mobile gaming industry, potentially unlocking new opportunities for rival app stores and payment providers [2].
