  For access to the Google Play catalog of apps, Google will charge stores an annual fee of $5,000 for “security and policy reviews,”

  Lol, so this is only for businesses

  Looks like this will be a US policy only, and doesnt break the play services stranglehold that is making alternative OS development harder than it really needs to be.

  If the Steam app lets users buy games that they can then play on Android through FEX, does that violate the ToS?

      I am looking forward to the day that GrapheneOS comes out on a non-Pixel phone like the upcoming Razor. Not sure when it will be out and hope it doesn’t get killed.
