Google’s Loew agrees that Google gets paid even when it doesn’t help users discover apps.
“If I want Candy Crush, I go to Google Play, I type it in, and I download the app... the Google Play store did not help me discover the app, did it?” asks Epic.
“But in that case Google still takes 30 percent of Candy Crush’s revenue even though it didn’t help me discover the app, correct?”
