القضاء الأمريكي يرفض طلب «قوقل» لتأجيل تغييرات متجر التطبيقات

The U.S. Supreme Court rejected Google's urgent request to block significant changes to the Google Play store, paving the way for the implementation of lower court rulings starting October 22.

Facilitations for Developers

The court ruling requires Google to allow developers to offer alternative payment methods to its official system, granting them the freedom to set prices and opening the door for competition.

Background of the Dispute

The dispute began in 2018 between Google and Epic Games, the developer of the popular game Fortnite, after the company attempted to bypass Google's payment system, which imposes a 30% commission, through secret software within the app.

What’s Next?

Despite the current ruling, the case may return to the Supreme Court for further review, with expectations of Google requesting a comprehensive review by October 27.

Expected Developments

If the Supreme Court agrees to hear the case, this judicial chapter may witness crucial discussions about the future control of app stores over payment systems.
