The future of the operating system depends on its developer environment, which supports the platform by prioritizing those programs and games that matter most. Without that help Android wouldn't be what it is today.
The best show of apps and games on Android Google Play, the official Google app store app made today announces that have paid Engineers more than $ 80,000 to date.
That's a figure that Google paid for developers, not a sum of money from Google Play higher, since that $ 80,000 is already 30% commission discount it's a company that bills to buy developers.
An estimated $ 80,000 goes down
Today @sundarpichai it's been shared that developers around the world (excluding China) have received over $ 80 million so far @ GooglePlay. Our platform can't be successful without the help of our ecosystem, so thank you very much for all you do!

The $ 80,000 million figure he has circulated since 2012 becomes too short when comparing the statistics his direct competitors receive: the App Store.
In the summer of 2018, Apple announced that it had paid over $ 100 billion to its designers. After a year and a half we now see how Google has not yet reached this figure.
Engineers continue to find out revenue in the App Store than Google Play. In the first half of 2019 there was an 80% difference in favor of Apple, even though there are more than 2 billion active devices and Android in the market compared to 5 billion active devices and iOS. Google Play must place bets to fulfill the sales received in the App Store.
