Judge James Donato has ordered Google to calculate the costs of complying with Epic’s biggest demands by June 24th, ahead of a final hearing in August.
Despite Epic Games’ surprise win at trial, I was skeptical that Judge James Donato would seriously consider forcing Google to let the Epic Games Store live inside its own Google Play Store, and give it access to every app inside Google Play. Those were two of the biggest demands that Epic revealed in April. But Judge Donato is indeed considering them.
952 is Epic’s 16-page list of asks, and 7 is the page that would force Google to give other app stores access to the entire Google Play catalog of apps, should Epic get its way. Take a peek: Just below it is the other huge ask Judge Donato seems to be considering: that Google would carry other third-party app stores within its Google Play store for six years.
