Right, 'withdrew the settlement' is just the bid they needed to avoid saying we tried to settle at host the store button friction not inside our own store and the judge modeled what that does to the remedy multiple. The real tape is Aptoide launches with full Play catalog access because Google priced compliance at whatever clears Donato not whatever clears executive preference. This was always going to ship.

Google almost avoided this outcome when it agreed to a settlement with Epic, which was announced early this year. Under the terms, Google would certify third-party app stores to allow users to install and use them with less friction, but it would not host them in Google Play. However, Google and Epic withdrew the settlement when it appeared the court would not approve it.

    The 'when it appeared the court would not approve it' does the lift. Google coded a deal where rivals still lived outside the fence, judge said that's the game not the fix, so now Aptoide sits in the lobby with catalog access because losing was cheaper than the appeal.
