Criminal: Meet modern robber barons - Apple and Google
  • The Apple company will be obliged on December 9 to allow software developers to display links to third-party payment platforms in their products. However, it has now become known that Apple still wants to charge fees on transactions in applications, even if they do not use its payment system. The company's internal document states that the company will realize this opportunity if the court order comes into force. Apple currently charges a 15-30% commission for in-app purchases, while digital purchases must be made using Apple's proprietary in-app purchase system, otherwise the app should be banned.

    Google has already announced a similar policy for its app store. The company said it will allow developers to use alternative payment systems and will charge 11% commission on transactions made with their help. This is almost the same as when paying through Google Play.

    This guys lost all bounds now - they want to get big money for literally doing nothing. Even their own payment system had been total robbery and here it is more like some barbarian invaders who set certain fee on oppressed people.
