Maybe they should introduce some special reduced fee teirs for the ultra high volume customers, as a precaution against this becoming a trend.
On the other hand fortnight is probably the only app where it's users want it so bad they will be willing to do just about any procedure to get it on the phones. Everything else has competitors on the Play store.
- stefan_ 8y agoA precaution against this becoming a trend? There is no trend, there has been a massively huge tsunami wave and it's already passed through, and now the "Play Store" is a barren wasteland of utter crap loaded with ads and sending as much data as they managed to cajole you into agreeing for to a bunch of third parties. But every app is free! 30% was a lazy choice to begin with, and look at what it got them. It's not even the huge tax, the fact that your app will show up alongside a bunch of Fordnite and Fnortnite scams would be enough to scare me away.
