From Ron Amadeo
"Here is what's really happening. The "Google Wallet for digital goods" API is closing. The key word here is DIGITAL goods. This API was for in-app purchases for Facebook/Google+ games on the web.
- Not the PayPal competitor for third party stores selling physical goods.
- Not NFC for brick and mortar.
- Not Android in-app purchases or anything Google Play related.
- Not the Physical Wallet Card.
It was mainly for social networks. No one plays Google+ games and Facebook has their own thing for payments."
