Throughout the course of the Epic Games vs. Apple lawsuit, a 70-page document from Google about a grand dream of the “world’s largest game platform” was discovered and shared. While some of it was redacted, there were still some interesting things to be learned from the leak. Is this plan even a possibility? Even if it’s possible, is it a good idea? That’s what we want to talk about this week on the Free Play podcast.
