"They want money from my app when I want money from their store! Therefore I'm a victim and they're a mafia."

Seems to me you're not noticing the Kremlin levels of cognitive dissonance in your statement here. With this severe lack of self-awareness, if you were in Apple's place you'd be way worse than they are right now.

Yes, they are a mafia. And yes, they want 30% of the gross income, just like other mafias (that historically has been the mafia cut in New Jersey and New York).

> They want money from my app when I want money from their store!

Apple is a mafia because they want money that they do not earn. They didn't do anything that deserves 30% of gross to help me write my application, and they are not promoting it for free.

All they do is they provide a shitty autoupdate service.

Are you paid by Apple's Reich?
