This just might be the greatest thing to ever come out of epics "store".

Android apps distributed through the Play Store cannot be required to use Play Billing and must allow for third-party payment methods, as well as communication of other payment methods. Google cannot require developers to change their prices to reflect Play Billing.

This one is huge. When this is implemented, Google can no longer enforce it's 30% share.

It's good to see the spirit of ZZT and Jill managing to live on in current Epic.

Who would have thought that Epic games would be the company to break both Apple and Google

They haven't broke apple yet. Apple is kicking and screaming all the way.

It's in the Update toward the bottom.

But it's nonsense, there's very little work to do for Google.
