Microsoft Hopes Money Will Entice More Developers (engadget.com)

Posted by msmash on from the bigger-picture dept.

At Build conference, Microsoft announced that starting later this year, all consumer apps (except games) sold in the Microsoft Store will ship a whopping 95 percent of the revenue earned from app and in-app purchases to the developer. From a report: That is, if the customer purchases the app via a deep or direct link. If the customer gets your app via a Microsoft-assisted method, like getting featured on the Microsoft Store, then devs will get 85 percent of the revenue, which is still a pretty good amount.

    15% is high? You came to that conclusion how?

    Apple takes a 30% cut
    Google takes a 30% cut
    Amazon takes a 30% cut
    Steam takes a 30% cut

    Seems to me that the MS store is the best deal in town...
