The timeline is absolutely ridiculous considering the scale at which Google play operates. However I otherwise don't feel a bit sorry for them. It's probably a foreign experience to most of the Google team to have a competitive challenge and if they are up to it they'll be fine. If not, I guess that's the free market at work...

(Also, is it Epics entire business model to just sue their way into relevance? I'm happy to see the big tech firms squeal but seriously it's like Epic wants their entire brand to be about suing competitors.)

I forgive Epic for the lawsuits, it seems it's the only way to enter certain markets.

They do have some bullshit moves, but not the lawsuits.
