Having read the law seriously it is 2 pages Apple has a pretty easy fix but they REALLY dont want to do it for financial reasons. Here is the workaround for apple that I can see:
1. Allow for sideloading of apps - Fulfills 2a. You dont have to use our App Store if you dont want. Also they could make it a pain (have to hook it up to the computer and use USB to copy it, special SideLoader application (like TestFlight), or something. To me I dont see apples "We have to let in other stores [boo hoo hoo wail]" ma
Thinking of other ways to play games while tiptoeing around 2c could they make it a policy that there is an additional "hosting fee" they charge developers? If you take their payment system you can earn credits towards paying off that fee quickly. Someone buys something? Ok a portion of the fees we take out reduces your yearly host. Take only outside payments? Expect to pay that hosting fee per year. You can apply as a "completely free" app to get that waived (no payments ANYWHERE) but yea that is hassle yo
Apple could work around this easy (Score:2)
