all i see is two monkies in a suit fighting in a cage.

every 3rd party store should have been allowed on the play store...except epic, for trying to fuck over basicly both sides and circumventing payment. then being mad for getting kicked out for violating basic rules, just because of greed.

best part is, the playerbase was trained for gambling, not for apk install, so the userbase flopped even in an already open invironment.

They were kicked out for intentionally violating anti-competitive rules. It's bullshit. And it's sad to see anyone at all defending Google here.
