An update on Google Play billing in the EEA

Developers who choose to use an alternative billing system will need to meet appropriate user protection requirements, and service fees and conditions will continue to apply in order to support our investments in Android and Play. When a consumer uses an alternative billing system, the service fee the developer pays will be reduced by 3%. Since 99% of developers currently qualify for a service fee of 15% or less, those developers would pay a service fee of 12% or lower based on transactions through alternative billing for EEA users acquired through the Play platform.

Congratulations to Google, fast-following Apple to introduce fake open billing in Europe - “allowing” competing payment services but eliminating their ability to compete by demanding 27% of revenue.

A store that sells an app should not have any involvement in commerce that is conducted after the app is purchased. It’s like Ford forcing car buyers to buy gas at Ford gas station and inflating prices 30%. It’s none of their business.

When Mastercard and Visa process a credit card transaction, they charg 2.5% for the service they perform.
In this case, however, Google is NOT PERFORMING THE SERVICE they charge their 12% fee on.
Google annonce autoriser l’usage d’un système de paiement tiers sur les apps mobiles distribuées via Google Play sur… les deux territoires où cela est désormais légalement obligatoire.
Le patron d’Epic Games, qui se bat contre le duopole de Google et d’Apple au sujet des marges des deux principales boutiques mobiles, critique la part du paiement revenant quand même à Google.
