Epic Games proposes Play Store fixes following Google verdict

Epic Games has submitted its proposed injunction regarding how Google can change the Play Store to be more competitive. This measure is part of the court proceedings between the two companies, with a jury having recently ruled that Google’s Play Store practices are anticompetitive. The injunction suggests that Google should not have any rules against allowing third-party apps and stores on its devices and should be more permissive with app purchasing options.

In the full injunction, Epic goes into more detail about what it expects from Google in order to comply with its propositions. For example, it specifically says that it expects Google not to offer any exclusivity contracts that would incentivize developers to put their apps on the Play Store over third-party stores, and it cannot put in any obstacles, such as “scare screens” or “dire warnings” in place to deter customers from installing apps from said stores.
