#2This is compared to Apple's program where you have to make less than $1M to qualify the next/current year for 15%. Makes much more sense.

#3I'm glad Google didn't choose the unnecessarily convoluted and worse solution Apple did that only adds more bureaucracy.

#4When 0% first $1m? How much of a hit are they taking from 15%?

#5I feel like they're feeling the pressure for a potential incumbent to come in and disrupt the market they've cornered. Who's in the best position to take a run on this? Or do you think it'd more likely to come from a new player?

#7Shouldn't this be inverted? Small devs with unknown apps have more to gain from play store's distribution, and won't mind paying 30% of a smaller revenue in exchange for all the help.
Bigger apps like Netflix are already doing their own advertising and marketing and have close to zero to gain from play store. And they will be making a large amount of revenue. According to this they will have to pay 30% of a larger amount.
It feels backwards.

“ The App Store's standard commission rate of 30 percent remains in place for apps selling digital goods and services and making more than $1 million in proceeds, defined as a developer's post-commission earnings” [1]
What is convoluted and worse? I am not a mobile Dev at this time, just going by what I see online.

As an exertion of raw power, yes, it would be inverted. But we live in a world where maximal exertion of raw power is looked down upon.

I feel like they are fearing antitrust actions in Europe and the US - and getting broken apart so pieces of themselves will be competing with other pieces.
