We’re watching a taped video deposition from January 13th, 2022, and lawyers are asking Cramer about Google’s P&Ls — the profit and loss accounting used by businesspeople to help make decisions about how to run a company.
Cramer is testifying that Android had a separate P&L from Google Play, which relates to a point Epic has been trying to subtly make for a while. Google has argued that its Google Play app store isn’t as much of a “profit center” as it seems because it doesn’t account for all of Google’s costs — the money it had to invest bring you Google Play and Android.
But maybe Google’s costs were considered a separate business? We’ll find out.
