So if I'm reading this correctly, this is only a change in One UI, which Samsung makes, and only affects their devices... So why is Google being sued other than for headlines?

Also, it's still not blocked, just additional warnings educating users about security, or lack thereof with side loading.

Not really on Epic's side here honestly.

You're talking about the same Epic that intentionally broke TOS, threw a tantrum when it was correctly kicked off the store, responded with a prepared 80-page lawsuit a day later, lost on all but one count, and is now strutting around pretending it was all for the players while taking their money by the fistful.

They broke TOS in order to serve the letter. You can’t sue for something that doesn’t affect you. Saying they threw a tantrum is disgraceful

And they should have won the Apple suit but Apple was deemed to not have a large enough market share to have a monopoly…even if they have a monopoly on Apple products

It was terrible news for consumers
