Furthermore, the majority of people would have purchased from the Play Store and would want the apk for free. The increased load on handling individual sales, payment checks, royalty reports for third-parties, increased piracy risk etc. are enough reasons for not doing this.Tell that to the developers for Neutron Media Player. They do indeed offer an alternate licensing option for Neutron. With Google's certification policy it appears that any hardware running Android 7 or below will no longer have access to the Google play store. I expect this will effect a large number of users, especially those using a dedicated digital audio player. I think you are doing an injustice to yourself and your customers by not providing an alternative licensing method.
