Google is bringing alternative billing methods to the Play Store in Europe

Recent legislation around the world has been forcing Google to loosen its historically-strong hold on Play Store billing, which may or may not be related to the many revelations the Epic Games lawsuit gave us last year. In South Korea, Google rolled out a way to use alternative billing methods in response to recently-enacted local laws, which were being tested in other regions in hand with Spotify. Now, the company is following suit and giving European users a way to use other, non-Google billing methods. Like with South Korea, there are a few catches both developers and users should be aware of.
