Is it time for a developer's guild?
Like if most iOS developers were part of the guild, and if Apple made too drastic a cut like this, the guild would disable all of the apps in the store for some number of days until a compromise could be reached between Apple and the guild. Not to single Apple out - we seem to be seeing a lot of these unilateral decisions in tech lately.

- spbaar 10y agoThis does not affect developers, only marketing and blog sites that promote apps and link to the app store.
- qzervaas 10y agoThis is not true. Many app developers use the affiliate program from their app's web site to claw back some of the 30% commission. Minimise the house take, so to speak.
- driverdan 10y agoIf you don't like it don't develop for closed ecosystems. This is the kind of shit you get when someone else has complete control.
- chillacy 10y agoCollective bargaining only works when everyone is in, otherwise economic forces move in to undercut you. That's why union workers on strike are so vicious to those who break ranks to go to work.
