The DMA isn't expected to come into effect until sometime in 2024. Along with the Digital Services Act, the law is designed to rein in the power of big tech by, for instance, prohibiting major platform holders from giving their own systems preferable treatment. Google is making the move after the EU's legislative arm, the European Commission, passed the Digital Markets Act (DMA) this month. However, the policy will not apply to gaming apps, which still need to use Google Play's own billing system for the time being.
The measure applies to the European Economic Area (EEA), which comprises European Union states as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. Android developers who distribute apps on the Google Play store can now use third-party payment systems in many European countries.
