third-party stores for 3 years will be allowed to go directly to the Play Store.
What this means:
- Developers will be given access to all apps from the Google Play Store;
- Google will no longer be able to offer developers money or incentives for not launching their apps in other stores;
- No Google Play Store exclusivity for specific phones;
- Also banned contracting for exclusive releases;
- Will allow payment methods other than Google Play Billing - no more dragging a huge commission;
- Will be allowed to link to ways to download apps outside of the Play Store.
According to Reuters, Google plans to appeal the decision.
