I imagine that is what Google wants. They don't want solo developers. They just want a company making apps. And dealing with companies is easier than with a solo developer. One could argue that a single employee company and a solo developer is the same, but again, the intention is to burden a solo developer single company, so that only small companies are the ones creating apps.
If they have not gone to the route of directly banning solo developers is just to avoid the pushback.
- jonathanstrange 2y agoThe problem is how much founding a company varies by countries. For example, I live in Portugal. Setting up a one-person company (Unipessoal LDA) is fairly cheap and easy here, but you're still required to have a certified accountant with certified accounting software. This increases the costs to around 100 €/mo minimally, just for running the company even if it has zero income. That's quite some bullshit if you just want to publish an app. But I guess Google doesn't care.
- erremerre 2y agoYes, but they don't want unipersonal companies either. They want companies with certain size, and legal department, so if any issue arises, it will be between the legal teams to resolves, rather than support.
