This is the most aggressive public statement I've read in a while. Google really isn't amused.

But they're right though, Epic's lawsuit against Apple made some sense, but not against Android. Google Play isn't the only platform and Google isn't stopping new stores from cropping up. Many OEMs have their own stores shipped with the device.

The claim that Google is making options too restrictive while they have Fortnite up on the Samsung store and directly through their website makes 0 sense. If they lost against Apple twice which actually does force people to use their app store, then they have no case here.
