    getting rid of the apple tax is good for consumers.

    I mean that’s not wrong. I had no idea Apple was double-dipping like this. I wonder if Google is doing the same thing…

        Every company who takes a cut from in-app purchases, be it subscriptions or DLC, should be kneecapped by this ruling.

        It’s one thing for the hosting marketplace (App Store, Steam, Play Store, etc) to take a cut from the initial purchase of a game/app. But it’s a whole other issue for that initial marketplace to keep reaching further into the dev’s pockets and take a cut from in-app purchases unrelated to where it was originally obtained.
