Epic vs Google: Google claims it would cost millions of dollars to open Play Store to rivals

Google revealed it would cost millions of dollars and take over a year to allow other app stores to operate within its Google Play Store. This information comes in response to Epic Games’ victory in a lawsuit against Google last December, where a jury ruled that the Google Play store was an illegal monopoly.
According to court documents, the main changes Epic is seeking would cost Google between $61.3 million and $137 million, with a timeframe of 12 to 18 months to implement.
