Australia court rules partly against Apple, Google in Epic Games lawsuit

An Australian court ruled partly against Apple and Google in a lawsuit brought by Epic Games, finding their app stores uncompetitive. The court stated there were no protections against anti-competitive behavior, supporting Epic's claims of high fees and restrictions on alternative app stores. While the court rejected some of Epic's claims, it acknowledged that Apple and Google abuse their control over app distribution. Epic celebrated the ruling as a win for developers and consumers, while both tech giants expressed disagreement with parts of the decision.
