Google Play is recognised as a monopoly. Google must provide alternatives

James Donato, on Monday a US judge handed down a ruling requiring Google to make significant changes to how its Google Play app shop operates. Google will now be required to provide alternative ways to download apps to Android devices and limit financial arrangements with companies in exchange for not competing with Google Play.

The ruling is the result of Epic Games' antitrust lawsuit that was launched in 2020.

The court order prohibits Google from paying manufacturers for Google Play pre-installation and also mandates to allow competing shops access to Google Play's app catalogue. This may change the market significantly, as Google and Apple typically retain up to 30 % of app sales.
