Maybe someone from google is reading this: PLEASE ALLOW THE REST OF THE F*ING WORLD TO SELL APPS.this is killing me here in Romania. I have 3 cool, good looking games (angry birds competitors), just sitting and waiting.
- antihero 16y agoThat's one thing I've never got - the market has been out, what, years now and still they haven't bothered to sort out selling in other countries. What gives? Google is a giant multinational and even if there are legal issues, that's the reason they have a huge team of lawyers.
- fierarul 16y agoThere is probably an opportunity cost because you aren't releasing the games as soon as possible. You might consider entering into some sort of deal with somebody that is able to publish your game or make an US (or whatever country is allowed) entity. Of course, this is much too complicated/expensive than it would be if Google would do their part. I'm also from Romania and this lack of support from Google is the reason I've only done iOS apps.
- zrgiu 16y agoi've explored that road actually, and it's not really possible. Besides having a US/UK/[other allowed country] account, they also require you to have an actual address in that country. There have been several developers who have been publishing paid apps for other people and they got their accounts banned.
- thomasz 16y agoever thought about a Ltd?
- nextparadigms 16y agoAngry Birds is making $1 million a month from ads on Android. Have you tried ads?
- zrgiu 16y agoI'm actually in talks for a deal with an ad company. I think that's the way it's going to be
- fierarul 16y agoIncorporating into US/UK wouldn't be possible without having some registered address there so I assume you meant having an US bank account as a person living in Romania -- I understand why they would ban that. But I doubt they would ban your US entity from publishing -- it's just another company.
- leppie 16y agoI agree.
- drtse4 16y agoHey, why not do the same thing that the guys of Angry Birds did putting ads on your games? I strongly suggest you to try this at least with one of them and see how it goes.
