    Any developer of piracy or emulation related software will not apply for the registration, because the trail will point to they official identity, opening a flank to legal actions. This will kill piracy in Android.

      Half agree, there are official emulation apps on the play store right now. I literally just downloaded drastic on a off brand tablet.

      Whilst this is true, it’s also a good reason to move to self hosting if possible.

      I’ve been slowly removing my reliance on these ad filled services, even though the apks I use have ads removed, and this news just gives me more reason to ramp this up since these same APKs may no longer work without some trickery by 2027 (if they go with this plan).

      Still, this all seems like constant patchwork as any and all effort is being taken to rid ourselves of control over our devices. It’s an iffy situation and I just hope people smarter than myself will continue fighting, in some manner.
