In September 2017, Google offered Netflix a special deal that would let it pay Google less than other developers for in-app billing. Netflix decided to pay nothing.
Spotify isn't the only one that negotiated with Google for special treatment. Netflix did, too. In 2017, Google offered Netflix a special discounted rate of 10 percent of its in-app payments on Android — meaning Netflix could keep 90 percent of the money — according to documents and testimony in the Epic v. Google trial. --- The future of Google’s app store is at stake in a lawsuit by Fortnite publisher Epic Games.
“Netflix is the only one this is being offered to at this point,” the document continued. The deal: “Bring revshare to 10% on the condition that Netflix have a full commitment to GPB globally.” Perryman confirmed under oath that Google actually offered that deal to Netflix in September 2017. '“Netflix is the only one this is being offered to at this point”' Netflix didn’t take the deal, he said.
