Find out why Google can remove Tinder from its catalog
Recently, Google filed a new lawsuit against Match Group, claiming that the company was not paying to have its app on the Play Store. It is worth remembering that Google charges a fee of 15% on the first US$ 1 million (R$ 5.4 million) of annual application development revenue.
This refusal, according to the complaint, “puts the group in an advantageous position in relation to other application developers who honor their agreements and fairly compensate Google for the benefits they receive”.
However, not only was the search for financial return being sought, but also the possibility of the company permanently deleting the Tinder application from the Play Store. As a result, according to Businessofapps, more than 75 million people would be affected by this change, which is the number of active users of the platform at the beginning of 2022.

In this sense, Match Group, along with Epic Games, sharply criticized the high maintenance fees to allow applications to remain active on platforms. In addition, the lawsuit filed in May by Match Group against Google was about the problem of the great control that the owners of online stores had.
