I think you’re being difficult on purpose. You know what I’m arguing. You don’t agree and that’s ok. But please don’t act like you don’t get it, and twist my point.

I’m arguing that what they are taking is not worth what they are offering. A 30% cut of your hard earned business is loan shark and pawn broker territory.

Ok, now it’s 15% until you get really successful. I don’t care 10%, 5%. I believe any percentage makes no sense for the the service they are providing.

This isn’t ‘Shark Tank’ the TV show. App developers aren’t coming and asking for loans to fund their startup idea. That would be the type of scenario where it would be expected to take a percentage of the company. We give you ‘X’ amount of dollars up front to fund your company, but we get ‘X’ percent of the money you make.

Hell, even Y Combinator is in this business. That’s when you should get a percentage. Not when hey, we run the only app distribution service and we’re going to keep it that way.

Now, I’ve ranted way too much in this point :) and I think I’ve made good clear points. Could you please provide good reasons why you think 15%-30% of your whole business is rightfully Google’s to take? I’m willing to be persuaded.
