If that happens, they should sue Google for dealing in counterfeit goods.

They’ll have a ridiculously strong case.

Amazon deals in counterfeit goods all the time and there's still been no substantial changes to how they deal with it either.

If you sue a behemoth like Google or Amazon, they'll likely gladly make a settlement with you that's considerably greater than the actual damages because they value the NDAs and lack-of-PR damage from the inevitable Wall St. Journal headlines...

Another way of putting it: if a 3rd party published a Mario game on Playstation, do you think Nintendo would hold back just because they are not also there?
