I’d be happier with the pricing if there were any apps worth having these days. The top 100 lists are like 90% garbage, 10% social media which may or may not also be garbage.
If I get bored sometimes I’ll look for a new app or game and end up closing the app without downloading anything. It’s all just complete garbage games and in-app purchases.
Same thing here. I miss the early app store when there were a lot of good games. Now the only decent native mobile game is Bloons TD 6. But even that has micro transactions.
The best games are ports to be honest. I recently downloaded Peglin, which is supposedly a pc port. It has a free trial and no IAPs and is an entertaining little timekiller.
Gotta love the “excessive” fees according to those developers that spend just $100/year to have free:
IDE and tooling
content distribution with extreme reliability
free services like push notifications servers etc
free advertising/presence in a store that has users because Apple spends millions on advertising to get people on it
all the billing process taken care of, with refunds, subscriptions etc, accepting any currency from all the international stores
All of that but apparently asking 30% cut is “too much”. It’s not like Apple pulled a fast one on them: they knew that’s the fee to be on it, they still decided to go on it but then complain?!
