>advertising "hey we don't sell via the App Store, go to our website to purchase" is effectively driving sales via iOS without paying Apple for making that possible. Sounds good to me. I can get programs for PC operating systems (Windows, MacOS, Linux) without paying unnecessary middle men. Adobe doesn't have to give Microsoft a cut when I pay for Photoshop, and they don't have to give Best Buy a sympathy cut either because they run their own website. Why should I be stuck with unnecessary middle men (app stores) for my phone?
