Not versed enough in law to argue about this, but from a customer point of view, I hope that Apple wins as I would hate the iOS ecosystem to end up being a Wild West like the Android.
I am happy to pay for a premium to have peace of mind. To give an analogy it’s kind of like gaming console vs PC gaming where I am happy to sacrifice a bit of performance in exchange of getting rid of all shady game-specific launchers
- bluedevil2k 6y agoYou're not addressing the real issue here though - should Apple get a cut of the revenue from in game purchases? Once you download the game and are looking to purchase more of the game you've already let the app pass your "shady wild west" internal warning system.
- noncoml 6y agoYes, for the simple reason that if they don’t, it opens a loophole for everyone to avoid the 30% cut altogether. Also from customer prospective, I feel more comfortable knowing the payment will go through Apple.
- stale2002 6y ago> , it opens a loophole for everyone to avoid the 30% cut altogether. But this is a good thing, not a bad thing. Literally the purpose of all this, is to get around this cut. It is better for developers and consumers, to take whatever actions possible, to support loopholes, that get around this 30% cut. This is the explicit goal here, and the reasons why it is good. The loophole would be a good thing.
