I can't compare it to how it was before but when I lived in my old country I bought something on Google play and now that I am in my new country I cannot download anything that is restricted to that country. There is no way that I can revert to how it was before I gave Google my credit card information. What I can do is give Google my new credit card information, but I don't want to do that simply to download a free country restricted app. What I ended up doing was making a new google play account and not purchasing anything through Google.
