So this should impact Steam, Xbox Game Streaming, and any other software that allowed digital purchases outside of Google play right?
Our app is leveraging this "loophole" as we provide license keys for self hosting as part of purchasing the app. It's also a TWA and Google hasn't published ANY guidance on how to use a TWA with Google Play Billing. What are we supposed to do, get off Google Play?
