[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1624120, member: 71075"] Yes it is, however you cut it. Distributors absolutely get a portion of a seller's revenue but I can't imagine that it's as high as 30% or if it is, I imagine that it's not as high relative to the distribution costs (digital stores cost very little relatively speaking for the purposes of hosting and marketing). Add to that the 30% cut that Apple takes for in-app purchases ([URL="http://evolver.fm/2013/08/08/apple-takes-30-percent-of-in-app-subscriptions-some-developers-are-fine-with-that/"]source[/URL]) and you've got a model that charges more for services that it probably should. I suppose developers could use one of the other app stores for iOS... [/QUOTE]
