1) How come you get to decide how Google chooses to make money?
2) Shouldn’t matter. Their platform, their choice (and if you disagree because they’re a monopoly, you can’t just not pay them without consequences, the court has to handle those things). You could also say that all the money they’ve spent to make Android a de facto world standard that can benefit you as a developer is what you’re paying for.
- croes 6y agoWithout apps android wouldn't have become a standard. Look what happened to Windows Mobile. So Google owes the developers the current status of Androids.
- NicoJuicy 6y agoAndroid is there because they were quick to move ( first movers advantage). Windows phone tried plenty to sway developers, so it's that would have worked. It would have been the money incentives Microsoft did, since it was part of it's marketing. Not because they actually swayed developers.

- xg15 6y ago> 1) How come you get to decide how Google chooses to make money? Because app developers have no choice but to accept Google's rules if they want anyone using their app. Do you really want to give Google unlimited, unilateral power over a whole business sector here?
- simonklitj 6y agoNot at all! But I don’t think I should get to decide it for them, except through the regular democratic process and then being dragged to court.
- coding123 6y agoBut that's exactly what we're talking about and going towards! No one is saying they're king and I say so so it must be. We're having a discussion so that these thing can move towards court!
