July 22, 2011 (PRESSbooth.ORG) -- According to wholesale China electronics ePathChina reports, Google will soon launch its social gaming network, which makes Facebook very nervous. The biggest difference between the two platforms may be the commission rate.
Several informed sources said, Google's share ratio in the revenue of developers will be less than 30%. Over the past few years, the 30% share ratio has become the industry standard.
