You can always bash Apple but this seems like moving in a good direction. It would have put about $75,000 in my pocket had it been this way when my only successful app was in the App Store. That would have been nice!

~$340k for my apps. This is why I thought they would never make a change, because people would be upset without retroactivity (which they would never do).

Ouch. But also, well done on $2 mill+ in sales! What app was/is it?

Too bad Epic Games took so long to direct regulators' gaze on App Store practices (:

At the time I have to say I thought it was a pretty sweet deal. I made this app in my bedroom and put it in the AppStore and a few months later it was top of the charts in Australia, then the USA. Places I’d never have been able to sell to myself. It makes sense to change it now they’re in such a strong position but at the time I thought I was completely reasonable.
