That seems like quite a likely outcome unless the store offers sellers more value than it takes. The liklihood of that for the specific example of the Apple store is pretty low. If the stores cut were more of the order of 5% it's be much less likely that sellers would feel the need to work around it.
- permo-w 3y agoall a company would be doing by acting like this would be restricting the size of their user base
- kybernetikos 3y agoCompanies that need to use the discoverability features of the store won't do this, but with things as they are, probably most companies that are already famous enough not to need that probably will (adobe, amazon, microsoft).
- permo-w 3y agothey don't do this on windows
- kybernetikos 3y agoI think the ms store revenue share is around 5% for non-games plus they allow you to take money in other ways too. Is it a coincidence that the only group that needs to pay the big fees - games makers - are the only group that make their own stores?

- kybernetikos 3y agoI know what I hope they'll do, and what most likely the entire point of this is - they should make their store more competitive and give app sellers a better deal. Whether that's what they'll actually do isn't trivial to work out - this is apple after all.
