There's basically nothing new here that couldn't have also been said on day one of the App Store in 2008. It's just the standard App Store grievance regurgitate

  It appears that before you could have a subscription outside the store. Now you cannot, and Apple picks and chooses favorites (e.g. Basecamp and Netflix can have out-of-store subscriptions, but this new app cannot).

    You can, you just have to offer it in app as well. Also, check the Netflix page on the App Store, it now has in-app subscription options too.

It’s the latest example of a company with a high-profile, essential mobile app ditching Apple’s payment system to retain more profits for itself and stop handing the iPhone and iPad maker a cut of every subscription activated within the Netflix app. VentureBeat first reported the change, which Netflix confirmed with a short “we no longer support iTunes as a method of payment for new members” statement. My Netflix's "account" section has nothing but a notice that says "Please go to Netflix on the web to manage your account."
