  • House antitrust chair calls Apple App Store fees 'highway robbery'

    ric.mric.m
    How quickly people forget... before the AppStore, end users purchased apps, utilities, games, etc. from a retail store like Fry’s. Between the game developer and the retail store is the publisher (and sometimes a separate distributor) - each taking a cut.  

    Prior to the App Store, developers did not receive anything close to 70% of the sale price.  

    There is competition in that anyone can build apps and compete with existing apps in the App Store AND developers can create apps for any of a number of platform: Mac OS, iOS, Android, Windows, Playststion, XBox, switch, etc.
