"Two days from today, October 22nd, was Google's deadline to begin opening up its app store, stop forcing developers to use Google Play Billing, let them set their own prices, and more, following Epic's repeated wins win in Epic v. Google. But both Epic and Google have just successfully and mysteriously argued for one final week's delay. US District Court Judge James Donato has just agreed to push back enforcement of his permanent injunction until October 29th instead."
"It's brief! It's also not clear why Google argued for the extension, or why Epic agreed to it, after Epic CEO Tim Sweeney previously celebrated the October 22nd deadline as the day "developers will be legally entitled to steer US Google Play users to out-of-app payments without fees, scare screens, and friction - same as Apple App Store users in the US!" Public documents filed by both parties don't mention a reason for the delay."
Google's October 22nd compliance deadline to begin opening its app store, stop forcing developers to use Google Play Billing, and allow developers to set their own prices has been postponed by one week to October 29th. Both Epic and Google jointly requested the brief enforcement delay, and US District Court Judge James Donato agreed. Court filings do not provide a reason for the agreed extension. Google has stated it will comply with legal obligations while it appeals and indicated plans to file a Supreme Court appeal by October 27th, which could affect enforcement.
