Apple take 30% because they can take 30%. You are paying it. You haven't switched to developing for another platform like Android or PC. They can do it because you, along with all the other app developers, are masochistic enough to put up with this walled garden. Somehow I cannot muster up sympathy.

- Kenji 11y agoYou are right. I stand corrected. Still, he is free to chose other ways of distribution that cost him less.
