  11. Re:I say: Apple wants to profit from developers on Apple Says Spotify Wants 'the Benefits of a Free App Without Being Free' (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    PS: let's talk numbers, if an Indy developer team makes 100.000$ they pay 30.000$ to apple. That likely is the difference of breaking even or not. And the difference of allowing new innovative creators to grow, or just the big imperial monopoly to grow even more. I rather have 1000 good and growing individual companies and just Apple, Goole and Microsoft. And it is not that Apple is doing such an amazing job on designing amazing software and hardware the last years :-/

    Not more than the usual credit card transaction fees. We use PayPal for that and pay 1.x% to 6% per transaction. and happily handle the rest of the deployment for Mac, Linux, Windows ourselves. We anyway need a web server and such. Btw. Apple is zero helpful, they randomly reject, delete, and don't offer real updates tiers, unless you create new apps or switch your users to a subscription model, ..! :-/

  13. I say: Apple wants to profit from developers on Apple Says Spotify Wants 'the Benefits of a Free App Without Being Free' (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Apple just wants to profit 30% from all the hard working developer revenue. And I do not particularly eye here Spotify, but all the small indie ones. We work so hard, day & night, weekends, rare holidays you name it, and Apple just grabs 30%. As if they do not have enough money, and we would thankful directly sell it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
