\nIn June, an XDA Developer exploring Play Store code stumbled upon a disabled feature called \u201cPlay Pass.\u201d Forcing the feature on didn\u2019t seem to do anything but decompiling the code led to the discovery that it involved subscriptions of some sort. They didn\u2019t think much of it because features like this are discovered regularly but rarely make it to the real world, so it wasn\u2019t reported at the time.
\u201cImagine your app store has a subscription that offers hundreds of dollars of paid apps and games for a monthly fee. How well does \u2018pass\u2019 describe this service?\u201d
However, a few days ago, a friend of the developer using Google Opinion Rewards was asked a question.
I\u2019d say it describes it pretty well. As XDA Developers notes, using Google Opinion Rewards to ask questions about product names is entirely within character. For example, way back in March 2016, there was a question going around about tasty foods starting with \u201cN.\u201d Shortly after, Android 7.0 launched with the name \u201cNougat.\u201d
While there\u2019s no guarantee this feature will roll out, it seems like there\u2019s a good likelihood. Google will simply be the latest in a long line of companies to introduce a subscription model to its products.<\/p>\n
