The EU’s latest Google rulings remain a major platform story for mobile gaming. Under the Digital Markets Act, regulators are pushing operational changes around Android and Search rather than simply issuing fines. Over time, that could affect rival AI assistants, app discovery, competing services and developer access to users. It is not as flashy as a launch trailer, but platform rules shape how players find games and how much control one company has over the path from search to install.
Mobile distribution is politics, product and business all at once.
