Google has announced plans to modify its billing practices for developers globally, despite a pending court approval on a settlement related to Epic Games' antitrust lawsuit against the company. The existing flat 30 percent billing fee will be replaced with lower, decoupled fees that will vary based on factors such as the user's first install date and the developer's earnings. These changes are part of Google's effort to address concerns regarding its monopoly over the Android app store.
