If anything I think the App Store has helped to drive the purchase price of software to $0. This in turn has driven every software vendor to either a subscription pricing model or a (privacy-invasive) ad model.
Open question on if this is net beneficial to consumers or developers, but it could also be considered an economic inevitability when MC = MR = 0.
- simion314 5y agoI think maybe the ads helped this more, and what helped that is probably some ad library the developer can drop in the application. What kind of free apps are there ? 1 some open source software that is compatible with iOS store license 2 trials or apps with pay to unlock stuff 3 free with ads So IMO even if you have 3 stores this will not change. But you could get finally GPL software and apps/games that target adults.
