Precisely. A Market, Store, Shop, whatever, is clear: the place you go to
buy stuff. It should be a noun of some sort. A place you go or a thing you
open to get other things.
"Play", as a noun in this case, makes zero sense. In the form of "the act
of play", it make it seem like it's a destination for nothing but games. As
a verb, it does not apply to books or apps and is just awkward to name a *
thing* after a verb. The whole point was, apparently, to unify content
under one umbrella brand that applied to everything and it seems like
they've done exactly the opposite. I just ... don't ... get it ...
Sometimes I find it quite difficult to follow the logic that Google employs.
Just another "lemonade stand" move. ;)
