Imagine a world where Apple required all games on iOS to have some form of "pay once and own it -- no ADs, no further IAP" option..

Instead we get this 👇




And Apple's solution that is "good for consumers" is to hawk their OWN service with an ongoing, never ending fee.

Can we please stop pretending Apple is all about what is best for the consumer?

Not only has Apple created, single-handedly, the disgusting IAP market; it STILL doesn't make it possible to search for NON-IAP apps/games in its store.

Internet people like you in current model: ”it’s baaaad, every developer selects the type payment which I don’t like"

Internet people like you if Apple changed the model: ”it’s baaaad, every developer should be able to select the type of payment they want"
I think both models should be allowed, but a "pay once, no ADs, no IAP" option should be enforced by Apple.

Why?
It's good for their customers.

That's exactly the type of benefit we are supposed to get with Apple controlling the whole operation here.
