Google is changing how it collects fees on the Play Store, and making it easier to use third-party app stores and billing systems.

    Tech writers consistently suck. We’ve had 3rd party app stores for a long time. Googles trying to make them worse, not welcoming them

      3rd party app stores were installable through Google Play for a long time? You sure?

          Google is first party. The user is second party. Everyone else is third party.

          Not really, no. Google is just the vendor for the app, not the developer. Most apps are 3rd party apps
