  I thought Apple’s app store practices were found to be legal in the Epic Games trial? (unlike Google’s)

    Which is kinda ridiculous since Apple’s practices are what Google does but worse.

      To paraphrase an analysis that I read awhile ago, Apple’s practices were found to be legal because Apple applied the rules unilaterally whereas Google would make backroom deals to alter the rules on an app-by-app basis.

      Please take this with a grain of salt because 1) IANAL and 2) it is the middle of a workday break and I didn’t take the time to search for a source, just basing this off of memory.

      If you want I can research this after work to provide sources and update my comment.
