After suing Google years ago for its alleged monopolistic practices regarding Android and the Google Play Store, Epic won in a surprise jury verdict last year.
As part of the decision, Epic has been tasked with submitting a proposed injunction to the court for consideration. In simpler terms, the court wants to know what changes Epic wants to see on the Google Play Store and Android.
The court filing comes a few weeks after Epic announced that it will bring the Epic Games Store to iOS and Android as an alternative app marketplace "later this year."

Epic is full of bad-faith arguments. Nothing they say will convince me. I'm completely open to arguments from other parties. I am on the side of devs who feel oppressed by the duopoly. Epic can eat a turd.
