Google has asked a US judge not to impose sweeping changes to the Alphabet unit's app store Play that were proposed by Fortnite maker Epic Games in the companies' closely-watched antitrust fight.
The Google logo is seen on the Google house at CES 2024, an annual consumer electronics trade show, in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Jan 10, 2024. Google has asked a US judge not to impose sweeping changes to the Alphabet unit's app store Play that were proposed by Fortnite maker Epic Games in the companies' closely-watched antitrust fight.
The Cary, North Carolina-based company also said it should be allowed to bring its Epic Games Store to Android"without delays and barriers."Epic did not immediately respond to a request for comment. In its filing, Google said a related Play store settlement with states and consumers made Epic's bid for an injunction unnecessary. The remedies in that settlement, Google said,"fully address" the alleged anticompetitive conduct Epic presented at trial.

The search for a host for the 2026 Commonwealth Games continues, as Singapore and Malaysia have decided not to bid to host it. The original hosts, the Australian state of Victoria, pulled out last year due to projected cost overruns. Experts said that the cost of hosting a major sporting event has increased since the Covid-19 pandemic, and the two-year runway to the Games is too short for preparations. Other reasons countries may be reluctant to play host include the declining prestige of the Games, with its colonial ties and absence of newer sports. Should the Commonwealth Games fail to find a host, cancelling the Games for this cycle could spell potential danger for its future, said one expert.
