Epic v. Apple trial testimony turns to 'cross-wallet' gaming
I love Down Dog. But now knowing that they want to get the customer through Apple Store and then easily avoid paying for that service of discovery (and other things offered), makes me uncomfortable. It is like stealing. The developers who want to get Apple Store services for free, while earning money are just dishonest people. I wouldn't want to do business with such people.

Epic v. Apple trial testimony turns to 'cross-wallet' gaming
ihatescreennames said:I’m curious to know how users of Down Dog first discovered that app. It was either through the App Store or via the website for Down Dog. To be clear, I realize people could have learned about it through word of mouth or seen an article that mentioned or something else of that nature, but any of those would either push someone to the App Store or a web search.
If they discovered through the App Store then shouldn’t Down Dog count that as a user gained via the App Store and the benefits it provides and be happy to pay 30% as a commission or finder’s fee or what have you? If the app was discovered via their website why does the CEO think it’s such a burden for customers to go back to their website?
Not to mention, I get emails with discount codes from businesses ALL THE TIME! Guess what. Mother’s Day is right around the corner. Just since Sunday I’ve gotten emails from at least 3 businesses touting products with a discount code for Mother’s Day gifts. That’s just this week. One of them is from a photographer we use for family photos a few times a year. The discount works for photo products they offer through a third-party that, wait for it, gets a cut of the sale!
None of what Sweeney, et al, are complaining about is unique to the particular situation they are complaining about.
Guess what I did when I wanted to make a 1-year commitment with my money?
Oh, was it so easy to guess? That I went to their web-site to check if they have the option to subscribe.
Could I have paid through the app? Sure. But there are so many apps with the subscription which offer the option on their web-site. So it is just obvious to check them for larger purchases than 0,99$.
