Epic wants a judge to open up the Google Play Store for good


Epic Games' proposed injunction aims to make third-party app stores and sideloading an identical experience to using the Play Store.

Now, we know exactly what Epic wants an open Google Play Store to look like, as the company laid out its wishes in a proposed injunction and press release. Asking the company to remove screens warning users about the consequences of downloading apps from unknown sources and eliminating deals with carriers and OEMs that elevate the Google Play Store's standing are just a few examples.
