Re: I learned something
Back in the distant past (2001 - 2008) before OS-based mobile app stores it was normal for the developer to only get 25% of the published price.
The split was roughly 45--55% to the mobile network, with the remainder split 50-50 with the 'aggregator' - a 3rd party quality gate / company used by mobile networks who didn't want to get involved in app stores, they just wanted the income.
I'd say losing a mere 30% is reasonable, but for the fact that its barely possible to charge for an app nowadays. Its just pixels and bytes right, so why do I need to pay for it?
