I'm not against app store operators demanding a service fee... as long as they do a good job of blocking malware/spyware apps (Google doesn't, many GooglePlay-approved apps spy on you and send your data home), don't block innocent apps for sake of their own interest, let a consciously willing user bypass the store and, at last but not at least, don't demand a ridiculously high fee. A fee of 5% is ok, 10% is tolerable, 30% is absurd.
- xmprt 7y agoThe fee would be alright if the ecosystem of app store apps was fair. When Google bans those kinds of apps from their store and Apple doesn't even support 3rd party app stores on their devices, it makes the argument of a monopoly a lot more forseeable.
