Makes no sense.

The market is more than just “play”.

“play” would be great for iOS

I haven’t been this upset since shell shock was changed to post traumatic stress disorder.

Just a wannabe iTunes store.. They should have thought of something new and refreshing, not googles version of iTunes

Umm, ya know. Generally companies announce anything of importance before they happen?

I would say a complete name change of an entire app ecosystem is important enough.

I agree with those saying that Google Market would make more sense but I understand what they are trying to do. I’ll be apart of the “get used to it” crowd.

I can’t understand why people keep saying this. My G+ is full of interesting, thoughtful content that scrolls by almost faster than I can keep up.

This sounds like they are trying to market it to children
Sounds like some type of re-branding term that sony or xbox would use, but sony just closed their playstaion network and made it a part of sony now from all the hacks to it by lolz hacker group. They should of tested the name to consumers that use it first with polls and market testing. Anyway I hate it.
If it ain’t broke, Don’t fix it!

Marketplace is what Microsoft calls the Window App Store.

I’m all for Google thinking about marketing and branding for a change, quite frankly prior to the past few months they SUCKED at it. Not a big fan of this one since it doesn’t make practical sense, apps aren’t all about “play” … but I get it. Simple, accessible, says, “here is where to go for entertainment.” Meh, I’ll get used to it.

What was wrong with integrating under “market”? Make far more sense and isn’t awkward. Google “play” for books? You dont play books come on

What type of “warning” would you have liked? You don’t “vote” on what Google does. You FOLLOW what Google does.

I would think the old “Market” word is the 1 that would imply games, books, apps, music, movies, business. A “market” for everything.

The new “Play Store” sounds more like “only games” or “only movies”. Only “play things”.

Another Google step backwards.
