Fortnite beats Google in court, end of walled gardens?

[Legend]

Victory over Google! After 4 weeks of detailed court testimony, the California jury found against the Google Play monopoly on all counts. The Court’s work on remedies will start in January. Thanks for everyone’s support and faith! Free Fortnite! https://t.co/ITm4YBHCus

Interesting how this went better than the Apple one. Maybe their appeal against Apple will go this way too.

Apple appeal is in the queue for the Supreme Court of the United States to consider hearing.

Well I'm not sure if all the details, but google allows other people to make other stores. But it they require a cut from apps that uses the Google store, I think that's fair.

of all the walled gardens Google is the most open....


...this victory probably won't stand up to appeals.
