In addition to claims of overcharging customers, Epic Games had accused Google of unlawfully restricting the distribution of apps on Android devices.

Through the settlement—which Google’s vice president of government affairs and public policy, Wilson White, said was announced in September but kept confidential until yesterday—Google has also agreed to allow for more competition in its app store.

He noted that Google was “disappointed that the verdict did not recognize the choice and competition that our platforms enable” and called the Epic case “far from over.”

In the meantime, Google’s loss appears to have resulted in additional wins for Android users seeking to limit fees and find the best app deals.

Epic Games had originally sought a much higher settlement, asking for “$10.5 billion in antitrust damages identified as Google’s unjustly collected fees,” Wright said.

In the “next phase of the case,” Wright said that “Epic will seek meaningful remedies to truly open up the Android ecosystem so consumers and developers will genuinely benefit from the competition that US antitrust laws were designed to promote.”
