Steve Troughton-SmithI think with Apple's latest changes to the Core Technology Fee, we're starting to see some of the elements that might actually work when all's said and done. Specifically, developers self-reporting company revenue — I think the only way to make the CTF fair is to have a flat fee, per year, that scales based on how much money your company makes. If you make $0, you pay $0. If you're Spotify, you pay $Ms. That takes away Apple's per-install tracking; devs don't need a nanny, they need a partner
Matthaus Woolard@stroughtonsmith I think per install is find as long as it is capped based on EU revenue. If you're a huge company but you just want to ship a small app for a tiny market on the side you should not pay the same as Meta.
@hishnash if you're a huge company you can probably spin up a subsidiary just for the app in question, no? I don't think that’s punitive
@stroughtonsmith I would assume revenue rules would be written such that subsidiaries cant be used to hide revenue. I can fire up a subsidiary to my company here for less than $50 so all contracts based on revenue look at total aggregated parent company rev.
