This ruling for Epic vs. Google goes way further than the concessions Apple has had to make for the EU. From The Verge:
Google will have to distribute rival third-party app stores within Google Play, and it must give rival third-party app stores access to the full catalog of Google Play apps, unless developers opt out individually.
Perfect example of how Apple and Google not opening up app distribution years ago will ultimately cost them much more now.
Steve is VRoomin’ @manton I don’t know that we can draw lines from past inaction to current actions.
Mike Wolfinbarger @manton I cannot imagine a bigger disservice the EU could do me as an app developer than forcing me to reckon with third-party stores. What a senseless waste of resources.
Dr. Juande Santander-Vela Mike, you are not forced to deal with third-party stores if you don't want. Still, it benefits you to have more than one channel to reach customers… even if you stay in the App Store.
