GOOGLE SETTLEMENT WITH EPIC CAPS PLAY STORE FEES, BOOSTS OTHER ANDROID APP STORES

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Google and Epic have reached a settlement that will provide a framework for long-term global changes to Android app distribution. It still needs to be approved by a judge, but the changes could be put into practice by late this year. Third-party app stores will get a boost, developers will enjoy lower fees, and Google won't drag out the process for years. The agreement isn't intended to undo the jury verdict or sidestep the court's previous order, but is aimed instead at reinforcing the court's intent while eliminating potential delays in realigning the app market.
