If they're barely profitable, if they have employees, if they have to pay a lot of taxes in their countries.. Yes 30% is a pain in the ass. It's also a disincentive to anyone who'd rather start anything where they can get 100% instead of mobile apps.

- alvarosm 12y agoWhen you don't know whether you're going to break even- because you don't, since this is a risky field and app stores are not even free markets to begin with-, a 30% tax is a strong deterrent.
