> I would just advise to not challenge people as missing the point if they didn't. You're still missing the point, as evidenced by that very comment. > Then no leaving in a huff required. I didn't leave. That's a misreading of "You can collect your prize at the door", which suggested that you leave. > The mentality that developers are forced into this situation is deeply wrong. There's no such mentality. You've invented that in your own mind. No developers are claiming that they're publishing in the App Store at gunpoint. The point ought to be very simple to understand: the 15%/30% fees on paid apps in the App Store are subsidizing the costs for free apps in the App Store, and that seems like a bizarre, unfair situation, because many paid apps are published by little indie developers, and many free apps are published by giant corporations making $billions per year in advertising revenue from those apps that are free to download. I don't know why you insist on deliberately misunderstanding that simple point.

> You're still missing the point, as evidenced by that very comment. No evidence provided, other than later citing a different point I wasn't commenting on. > I didn't leave. When you say that you give up, that's what I'm referring to. > There's no such mentality. Saying that developers are tasked with something is that mentality. Developers are choosing this option. Could the option be better? Of course - any option can be infinitely better. But that doesn't mean they are tasked with anything. > I don't know why you insist on deliberately misunderstanding that simple point. I'm not mentioning that point. I'm talking about a different point. If you'd like to debate, or whatever you call this, the point you're talking about with someone who disagrees with it I'm sure there's someone in the comment section who'll take you up on it.
