Court orders Google to lift restrictions on Play Store after Epic Games

Nice to know that developers can now opt to use alternative billing system also without needing the alternate billing system to share any revenue with google.

This would be a landmark move , also imagining that there could be competing billing system now and each promising lower commissions.

Also wondering if app stores like fdroid would be practically listed now on playstore. Apart from the fdroid team deciding against such listing , there could still be issues preventing it from getting listed.
Being listed on playstore could be could for building network effect and broader adoption.

Google plans to appeal the decision, but it’s probably (I hope) not going to succeed.

@pika There is nice backlash in the comments section of linked article… seems like things got ugly for Mozilla which is, imo, good.
