Because nobody really wants to give the AppStore 30% of their revenue. Having it be a percentage of the revenue instead of just a flat fee means its just a money-grab IMHO. Ironically Apple is arguing in court that Qualcomm is doing the same thing to them (charging a percentage based on retail pricing) and that the price is unfair.

lol you're out here arguing that the people who are (without FULLY disclosing it) bundling malware that downloads and compiles DATs/unsigned binaries from anon domains are in the right, but you have a problem with Apple's revenue model for the App Store?

No, that is a false statement.

You literally posted this elsewhere:
> I'm not going to tell someone how they should make their living
Be consistent. Don't tell apple how to make their living.
> Don't tell apple how to make their living.
I didn't.

Very soon it won't be 30% anymore.

I don’t get why microsoft isn’t pushing all these vendors really hard to distribute through the windows store. The windows store is a graveyard compared to the mac app store, despite having a head start and a bigger target audience, and it’s basically impossible to use windows without sideloading apps. Microsoft is pushing windows S at people, where you can’t sideload software, but the windows store just isn’t ready for that and all it will do is push people to the mac when they inevitably have a bad experience.
