Pinwan, July 19, according to Sina Technology, Google announced today that starting Tuesday, developers of “non-game apps” in the Google Play app store can offer third-party payment options, and the service fee will also be reduced from the current 15%. to 12%.
Google also pointed out that the reduced service fee only applies to the European market. In addition, game app developers may also offer third-party payment options in the future. The move shows that Google has adjusted its strategy and is now more willing to make some concessions to regulators than to engage in a long and distracting confrontation with them. It is reported that Google’s concession is to comply with the European Union’s Digital Markets Act, which will come into force next year.
