(Reuters) -“Fortnite” video game maker Epic Games has urged a federal judge in California to force Google to open up its Play Store to greater competition after a jury found the U.S. tech giant had abused its power as a gatekeeper for apps on the Android mobile platform. Epic made its proposal in a court filing on Thursday to U.S. District Judge James Donato in San Francisco, seeking among other things to require Google Play Store to allow the distribution of competing third-party app stores for six years and also limit the company’s ability to make agreements with device makers to restrict preloading of competing app stores. Donato presided over a blockbuster antitrust trial that ended in a jury verdict against Alphabet-owned Google in December.
