Miguel de Icaza ᯅ🍉The issue is that these developers wanted one thing (lower fees), but lobbied for “freedom of stores” and “external payment systems”
They got what they asked for, which is not what they wanted.
savaran@Migueldeicaza I'm hesitant to say they got anything. There's certainly not "freedom of stores" by any meaning of the word.
Would anyone accept it if Walmart had to approve everything on the tables in your local farmer's market? Or even the Whole Foods? Because we've got the software equivalent happening here.
@savaran that’s not what is going on. You can publish whatever you want in the EU now via other AppStore’s.
You do have to pay a fee to sell your goods in Walmarts parking lot though.
@Migueldeicaza How is it Walmart's parking lot if it's in my living room and bought from a different store and paid through a different payment provider? How does Walmart still deserve rent for the parking space that isn't being used?
