Information: US Court warns Google This is a major change which will have a negative impact on Illegal Game Store Monopoly -

U.S. District Judge James Donato has cautioned Google that major changes are likely to be forced upon its Android application store following an investigation conducted by an appeals court that found the Play Store operates as a exclusive monopoly which is not legal.

According to the Associated Press reports that Judge Donato suggested he may demand Google to permit alternative stores for apps for Android devices. This will help reduce Google's power over distribution of its apps as well as the billing system on its platform. The monopoly Google has that it has "nearly all-control" generates billions annually for Google but the ruling by the court could alter the way in which it operates, as Google is forecasting expenses that could be up to 600 million.

Google has expressed concern that the possibility that opening it to allow the Play Store to third-party apps stores that could put users at security risks, leading to what Google refers to as "security confusion. " In spite of these worries, Judge Donato highlighted the necessity of significant changes, saying, "We are going to remove the barriers; it's likely to occur."

This is part of a larger antitrust effort against Google as well as a different matter involving the company's search engine scheduled to start in September. The judge is hoping to issue an order that outlines the required changes needed to Google's Play Store soon, possibly in the days before Labor Day.

The article in The Verge on the same subject emphasizes Epic Games profiting from these outcomes as well. It also includes an article's subtitle stating "Judge James Donato will issue his final ruling on the services Google offers -- and what Epic gets in just a few days."
