- mygo 7y agoThere is significantly more money inside that walled garden. Just a more qualified customer base in terms of willingness to pay.
- jpttsn 7y agoSo: on net, the single distribution channel provides access to paying customers, in turn making it easier—-not harder—-for indies to build a business there. Which makes it wrong to say iOS’s single distribution channel is bad for indies: it’s actually good for indies. Unless you claim that walled garden and paying users occurring together is a sheer coincidence.
