This according to the search giant’s data will help 99 percent of developers who sell goods and services on the Play Store see a reduction of “50 percent in fees.” The company added that the reason for choosing $1 million as a threshold is because it talked to its “partners making $2M, $5M and even $10M a year that their services are still on a path to self-sustaining orbit.” Also Read - Google Chrome 90 update now available: What’s new
