> Actually, the point of the app store was distribution. That's what the 30% cut was for IIRC.
Nobody was paying Apple 30% because that was cheaper than distributing yourself. They paid 30% because without paying that their app wouldn't get discovered, by design.
Now Apple has decided 30% only buys you the privilege of being able to pay more to be discovered.
