    This is a wild downplay of this.

    The judge is forcing Google to let third party app stores sell and distribute all the apps in the Google Play Store. That s massive.

      You have it backwards. They’re putting third party stores on the Play store.

        Google will have to distribute rival third-party app stores within Google Play, and it must give rival third-party app stores access to the full catalog of Google Play apps, unless developers opt out individually.

          That’s pretty bullshit, honestly. Being forced to provide the bandwidth to hurt its own business. All while Apple gets to keep screwing people.
