Oh wow. I wonder how much Android users were defrauded and how that compares.
I can say that the only time ever I have had an issue with a security breach for my credit card in my 10 years here in Canada was with a YouTube subscription, i.e Google, i.e Android creators land.
It did sound pretty much like any normal data compromise though. Bank took care of reimbursing me and sending a new card at least.
The problem with all of these litigations is that no one ask the users or the small developers. Bring on the fraud!
Bingo, you have won a medal today.
I have had zero issues with the App Store, the couple of user errors have gotten reimbursed (I.e bought a book instead of Audiobook once, got that reimbursed in no time and got the audiobook instead) and that’s about it. I trust it more than anything else at least and would rather do everything via the ApplePay backed system for payment and subscriptions.
And if I ever finally become a developer: the several videos/tutorials, tools, SwiftUI this, AppKit that, taxes in some country here, legal things in some country there, etc I don’t see how 15% (then 30% if over $1M revenue or 15% subscription at the second year) would be such a bad deal... I would get a whopping 100% of zero without none of that.
So whatever happens, I just hope it doesn’t flip it all upside down. Personally at least I think.
