    and it must give rival third-party app stores access to the full catalog of Google Play apps, unless developers opt out individually.

    Is it just me or does this part sound a little weird?
    So every alternative app store will be a perfect clone of Play’s app offering? Potentially without the app devs even knowing since it’s a opt-out? huh?

      Sounds that way to me.

      Which means developers being expected by users to support installation and updating through systems they don’t use. Because we know that users have common sense and would never expect the unreasonable, especially from small devs.

      This is very dumb. So if a purchase a google play store app in epic store who gets the cut, what is the cut. Does google take their percentage and then epic takes theirs.
