Note that it also include other terms:

  * Reduced commission: 30% -> 17%
  * Payment processing fee: No fee to Apple
Some big mobile games may opt in this option by removing IAP and using their own payment processor, if "update"s are not considered as "install"s. Looks like Apple is desperate on keeping those apps in their app store?

It seems updates also count. If they can cover that 50c for every non-paying user with the extra 10% profit on paying users they might switch.
