Sure, Google does that with a one-time fee of $20. You don't need to gouge the people who add value to your platform repeatedly. Apple is already doing that with their 30% which is more than enough to pay for all of their expenses. Their app store is an absolute cash cow, they're fine.
- votepaunchy 2y agoNo one thinking about the $100 fee is paying more than 15%, if they are paying anything at all.
- beeboobaa3 2y agoNot sure what you're on about? You're talking about apple, so anyone wanting to develop for their platform is paying $100/year, and 30% of all revenue made via their app. You don't really have a choice. Apple forces you to use apple pay, takes their cut, and you get the remaining money if you're lucky. They have recently been forced by the EU to offer some, supposedly, more amicable programs. I haven't looked into the details of those, because fuck em.
