Google cuts Play Store’s 30% fee after pressure from Epic and redesigns Android billing
Summary
Google is changing the Google Play billing model and replacing the flat 30% fee with a more flexible structure. The new rules let developers use alternative payment methods and decouple billing from app distribution in Android. Google is also launching developer incentive programs that reward higher-quality apps with better pricing terms. The rollout starts next week in phases, with global expansion planned over time.
