Anecdotes like this one do indeed suggest they're not trying as hard as they can:
>I hate this bullshit, they've said exactly the same about my country for 3 years before actually adding seller support. They were about 3 years slower than Microsoft and Apple.
I actually am a Google fanboy for the record. But it does seem like they just don't care about this.
- rmrfrmrf 13y agoYes, but Microsoft and Apple have the advantage of having physical products, stores, agreements, etc. in the international market already.
- panacea 13y agoGoogle seems really flakey. It's a bamboo platform. Discontinued services... a road-map that focusses on creepy glasses, self-driving cars and ditches Motorola for Nest.
- _djo_ 13y agoThis isn't a factor. Apple has no offices in South Africa - all retail sales, support, etc are handled through a distributor, Core Group - but local devs can still sell paid apps through the App Store. Google, despite actually having a large-ish local presence, didn't allow the same thing for years. The local office only handled ad sales, it seems.
