The neat part of this is that they’re requiring Google to give up their library of apps to other stores and won’t allow them to buy up exclusives for at least 3 years. I suspect we will see a lot of scam app stores really soon, though.

    Apparently, Apple is only required to allow third-party stores in the EU. Hopefully only a matter of time before a similar case forces their hand in the US.

      God damnit, Epic. Take Tim to court, too, for fuck’s sake. I want to get an iPhone, but I can’t live without sideloading apps.
