Its a monopoly for developers. As a company you can not not use the app store because half of your customers are there and very few companies can afford to give up half of their customers.
- pjmlp 6y agoDevelopers can chose to target other platforms. There are countries with 0% iOS market share, half of zero is still zero.
- imtringued 6y agoI personally don't like Apple and will never buy an Apple product, but I fully agree. People who buy Apple products are perfectly fine with the way Apple restricts their platform. If you don't like this as a developer, then just leave and stop developing for iOS. A single big company doing this just to cut down on some fees just reeks of greed.
- pjmlp 6y agoIt is not a single company, Google also kicked Fortnite, and it has been a thing in game consoles, car infotaiment systems, pre loaded apps on TV settop boxes and blue-ray players,.... The world is unfair, no one is expected to do charity for developers. We are not a special snowflake job that isn't expected to give others the necessary payments to keep the whole chain working.
- Polylactic_acid 6y agoFor most business that is not a choice. If you are making a utility or game then maybe, but can a company like uber decide that they will only be available to android users?
