My fear is that Apple's going to figure out why this is a problem after there are no indies left.

@chockenberry OK feeling a little stupid. I'm sure we understand the issue but what should Apple do? Are you saying is an app store problem?

@ctp Apple should design the rules and features of the App Store to encourage the sustainable development of quality apps.

@mjtsai @ctp step 1 reduce the apple fee from 30% to 5%
Amy Worrall ‏@amyruthworrall 2 Oct 2014

@jfricker @mjtsai @ctp I don’t think that’s the main issue. Personally I’d say step 1, make the minimum paid price £5.
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai 2 Oct 2014

@amyruthworrall @jfricker @ctp Not sure that would make much difference, as it's just a constant factor, not a structural change.
Amy Worrall ‏@amyruthworrall 2 Oct 2014

@mjtsai @jfricker @ctp True, but combined with step 2, it starts to move towards telling people how much they should value apps.

‏@mjtsai

@amyruthworrall @jfricker @ctp Yeah. I wonder how much of this was caused by Apple specifically announcing that most apps should be 99c.
