Reutes has provided very interesting information on the creation of a new GDSA (Global Developer Service Alliance). Not only for apps and games, but also for movies and music. At first glance it doesn't sound like a problem for Google, but you just need to look at the companies involved in this partnership. First of all it is Huawei with its subsidiary Honor, Xiaomi and companies of the corporation BBK, which include Oppo, Vivo, Realme, OnePlus and iQOO.
GDSA can endanger the Google Play store
Five companies are among the TOP 10 largest phone manufacturers in the world. This is a huge number of devices and for developers this is a much more interesting reason to spend a different business. According to Reuters, this shop was due to be introduced in March this year, but due to coronavirus, the show is delayed. Companies should be in the final stages of the agreement. The business is to be launched in waves, the first of which should be 9 countries including Russia, India and Indonesia.
Given the embargo that affected Huawei, it is quite easy to estimate which company initiated this partnership. Huawei introduced its own operating system Harmony OS, and has its own application store, but developers do not play too much. Thus, merging with other Chinese companies is not a very surprising step. Just because BBK or Xiaomi may be embargoed in the future and reducing their dependence on US companies is in their interest.
It will definitely be interesting to see how the GDSA succeeds in breaking through a monopoly on Google Play. The only company that can keep up with the Google business is Apple. We have seen in the past how giants like Amazon and Microsoft have failed.
