Epic, the maker of the popular Fortnite game, is seeking to show that executives at the Alphabet Inc. unit were eager to discourage the proliferation of third-party app stores that would cut into Google Play’s operating profit.
At this point I don't think I should have degoogled my life, I should have just gotten Google to pay me to continue to use their products. Given the what they're paying everyone else, I must be worth at least a few hundred dollars a year.
You can get Google to pay you through Play Rewards!
You are, but you're not getting it.
Probs get down votes, but look up data latte, you can put your data on the blockchain (anonymized) and get paid if somebody buys it, eg for market research.
Which essentially is what Google does. Sells your data to the market
Sorry pal, you're product, not customer.
Technically based on how much you'd need to pay for the different services to replace Google it kind of works out? Eg. It's the price you're paying for free Gmail, search, calendar, etc etc.
That does explain why they dropped Bixby.
One thing to note, Lg has their own app store, they would bundle it on smartphones along with the playstore. I remember having a phone from them that did the bundling. Now I use Blu phones.

hadn't use an LG phone in some time.
