When it comes to streaming movies, you probably never think about Play Movies as an option, primarily because the service mostly offers movies to buy or rent. However, a new APK teardown of the Play Movies app by XDA Developers has turned up a bunch of strings that hint towards the company adding ad-supported, free movies into the app.
The strings clearly say ‘Hundreds of movies’ and ‘just a few ads’ which could possibly mean that Google will be making a pretty huge chunk of its library free for users to stream as long as they are willing to put up with ads. The company is no stranger to serving ads between videos (read: YouTube), so it shouldn’t be too big a deal for Google to bring that same monetisation model to Google Play Movies as well.
