Everyone who doesn't let Timmy do whatever he wants is a bully. Clearly. From Steam to Google.

Every time I read shit I’m like “this is exactly how a trial works. Why is this news.”

I agree with Tim here, but if the Apple lawsuit ruled mostly in favor of Apple then there is no way in hell the Google one is gonna succeed. In comparison to iOS, Android is Paradise full of free choice and alternative App stores!

There are multiple factors that make this trial different. Most importantly, it’s a jury trial. There are also internal conversations and memos between Google employees that might paint them in a worse light compared to Apple, though you never know. One thing that might work in Google’s favor is indeed the trial against Apple that was mentioned in this case. The jury might have been instructed not to read about it to know its outcome (though pending appeals), but they don’t live in total isolation or necessarily stick to every instruction.
