The Google Play Store is home to millions of apps and games, and hence, it is an important platform for developers to earn a living. However, along with Apple, Google has been facing a fair amount of criticism for charging high commission fees to developers for selling paid apps on its digital marketplace. As a result, we saw the company reduce the transactional fee from 30% to 15% earlier this year. Now, the Mountain View giant has announced to further reduce the cut it takes from developers to boost their income.
With these changes, Google is aiming to boost the economy of developers. The company will publicly announce the changes to the Google Play Store and its latest developing tools, application programming interfaces (APIs), and other app-developing technologies during the Android Developer Summit, which is scheduled for October 27-28.
