Yay, the gigantic mega corp I feel more aligned with won! On a more serious note, I think that this is broadly a good thing for the consumer. Apple and Google have a monopoly over basically distribution of apps and so the vast majority of people interact with technology most of the time. Having some restrictions on their behaviour and how people can circumvent them being established in the courts is good imo but keen to hear other points of view.

Of course its a good thing, but yeah its just one giant megacorp winning against the other for their own gain. But in this case Epic gain is also gain for consumers and devs of mobile apps/games.

Going by valuation, Alphabet is 52 times larger than Epic. That difference might justify putting them in separate size categories.

The difference is that Epic was instrumental to creation, whereas Google is only rent-seeking.
