  30% flat tax is worse than the current corporate tax in the US, what's insane is it's been like that since forever, and Valve also get away with it, even more insane considering they are all a monopoly Google/Apple control the mobile app market, where is the self-regulation capitalism is supposed to promote? It sounds like a mafia at this point 30% flat tax, on top of your own taxes, it's not sustainable

    Do you have any idea how much high-traffic shopping malls charge for a storefront? What you call "tax", shopping malls call "rent".

      rent economy is the economy of the dead if people don't understand this, then we are doomed

      Sure, and you can pay for App Store ads separately... The issue is not that Apple charge for exposure, but that you are forced to.
