It came out in the Epic trial that 80% of App Store revenue comes from in all purchases for pay to win games.
The myth of the indie developer being hurt by the App Store tax is just that.
Besides, most businesses other than games that make money from mobile are selling services where money never goes through the App Store.
- kelnos 4y ago> The myth of the indie developer being hurt by the App Store tax is just that. They statistic you presented does not support that assertion. 30% of your revenue is 30% of your revenue. Indie developers who have fewer distribution channels than a big name like Epic will of course be hurt more by the requirement that they share a big chunk of their revenue with their (often sole) distributor.
- scarface74 4y agoWho do you think these Indy developers are and how would they get exposure and distribution outside of the App Store? There is a reason that in the physical world, smaller sellers, authors, etc use Amazon instead of selling from their own site and use Amazon’s distribution. How many Indy game developers for PCs try to sell on their own instead of going through the stores? If I am going to start a business, why wouldn’t I take distribution costs into account and raise my prices? Another question, Android allows side loading. Why do most app creators still go through Google Play?
