They still have to apply 30% rule, haven't they?

• meowtimemania 3y ago
  The 30% rule only applies if you are paying to unlock software features. If you’re paying to purchase real world things it doesn’t apply. E.g. 30% rule doesn’t apply to amazon

    It's not restricted to software features, though. Things like ebooks and (???) event tickets also have a 30% cut (Facebook had an angry dispute over this).

      Bandcamp's iOS app doesn't have purchases, presumably because of this.

        lol I just saw a recent Bandcamp update for iOS where the changelog said it "updated payment workflow" or something and it got me real confused because the app has never let you buy anything

      This is why the Kindle app doesn’t let you buy anything on iOS. Such an awkward flow because you can read a free sample of a book and as soon as you finish and are ready to continue it just appears that there’s no way to buy it.

        The behavior is the same on Android.
