So... Sweeney wasn't happy with 30%, and now he's not happy with a sweetheart 10% deal?

Pull the app and pull a Fortnite at this point and make people sideload it. I'm too tired of watching this fight over and over again, especially now that they're in the position of actually having a special deal that was given to them (even if it was pre-Epic).

He's not ok with sweet heart deals conceptually. Because they're bullshit

Then I have good news, in that this isn't some special "sweetheart deal". 10% is the standard rev share for music streaming apps that participate in Google's "Play Media Experience Program".

That's still a sweetheart deal, and also looks like it's 5% better than the standard play media deal https://play.google.com/console/about/programs/mediaprogram/
