    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?!

    Entitlement…
