Google drops 30 percent app store fee. What that means for you.
Google is doing away with its 30 percent fee in the Android App Store, which could potentially ease costs for everyday users.
The news dropped this week that Google planned to revamp its app store's inner workings amid a settlement with Epic, the gaming company that makes Fortnite. (Google and Epic have been involved in a years-long legal feud, which ended in Epic's favor.)
Now, the tech giant has announced it's cutting service fees to 20 percent and, in some cases, 15 percent. It also cut its subscription fee to 10 percent.
