Apple and Google Face Growing Revolt Over App Store ‘Tax’
Doesn't Valve take 30% from games on Steam? But they're complaining Apple taking 30% is too much?<p>I also don't really think the Apple/Google fee is that unreasonable. Considering the resources, tools, marketplaces, tutorials, payment processing, all the other All dev stuff they provide in general. Yes if your app goes big, they make a lot of money. But for every big app there's something like 9 that fail completely (it's murky due to how many apps aren't intended to profit in the first place, and are just made to attract customers to a brand).<p>I don't know the numbers though. Maybe they could charge lots less. But just from my single viewpoint, it doesn't "feel" unreasonable.
