Apple announces new fees for apps in the EU that link to the web for purchases

I really cannot until this business model FAANG has come up with in the past 20 years where they are somehow owed money by developers for creating services and products for a platform is completely repudiated. I owe you money because a user clicked a link in my app and then bought something? I am so glad I have never written a line of code for an Apple product.

Wow they really are impudent aren't they.

Hope the EU fines hit them really hard. Obviously they are trying to squeeze out as much money as possible while they can and then just say oopsie and pay some of it back. So the fine must be higher than their entire profit from this otherwise everyone else will be trying the same.

I don't really get it. Apple wants an acquisition fee? Why? Should my car manufacturer be able to demand an acquisition fee to all the stores it takes me in the first year? Should my refrigerator be able to demand an acquisition fee from every grocery store?

UE is still conducting its investigation, and Apple already started to retreat from its new policies. I think it will be interesting to watch next parts of this saga
