Google ends its 30 percent app store fee and starts a 20 percent app store fee instead
Don’t forget it welcomes other app stores in the short term but no indication of a long term guarantee, because that’s how you get good PR.

#24Why are people thanking Google? That’s like another slap on the face of Epic who burned through their millions to put a (soft) end to Google and Apple’s dominance. They still get to keep a significant cut.
Epic still deserves all the slaps it gets. They didn't do it for the good of the people. They just want to abuse their own position more efficiently.
Honestly I believe they did it because Tim Sweeney has fuck you money and he got pissed off at Apple.

#25This is kind of a misleading title. While they "ended" the 30-percent cut, they are keeping a 20-percent cut.
worse title I've seen in a while

#26Am I correct that if you earn less than a million dollar a year and wish to continue using Google services it changes nothing? You will pay 10% service fee + 5% billing fee, the same as the old 15% fee?

#28This together with Valve's work on Fex may mean that Android users will be able to install Steam on their devices
Fex is not coming to Android https://wiki.fex-emu.com/index.php/FAQ
Fex is already running on android, within things like https://github.com/utkarshdalal/GameNative

Yep. Spot on. And the reason you know this is true is because the arguments about increasing prices for customers due to App Store fees, which is one of the primary arguments, once removed does not result in price reductions for customers.
It's just big billion dollar corporations deciding on who keeps what cut.
