      They force anybody using the android trademark to include Google Play/Services, not a lawyer but I think that’s “tying” when they force you to use one thing with something else.

      And juries are unpredictable.

      Why are you mad about this?

      Google absolutely does.

      Name me 4+ more Android app stores you can use?

          I class myself as a power user, other than Galaxy Store (which is also seem mostly as bloatware) is not offered on any non-samsung phone set up.

          The Amazon App Store is acceptable but also gated

            Of course, but Epic also doesn’t want that. They just wSnt that 30% cut gone, that’s exactly the only part they care about. In fact, epic of all companies loves locking people out of access. Sweeney is just pissed and throwing a tantrum and disguising it as a good thing. If he could have had this say “epic gets special treatment everyone gets fucked” he absolutely would have!
