At the same time, the commission reduction applies only to European consumers. And the use of other payment systems will eventually be extended to gaming applications.

Estelle Werth, Google’s director of government relations and EU public policy, said in a blog post that the new initiative is aimed at users in the EEA (European Economic Area). It includes 27 EU countries, as well as Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. At the same time, it has not yet been reported which payment systems can be used in the app store.

Over the past decade, Google has been fined more than 8 billion euros by EU antitrust authorities for anticompetitive practices and antitrust violations.

Note that Apple has not yet announced similar steps on its part.
