Just in case there is confusion here, there is no debate on my part whether it is a well made business decision regarding market opportunity and visibility to use the Apple store or any other distribution means. Simply that I can pay them (notice the quotes please) "directly" or thru a "third party" that takes a significant percentage. given that choice, and that choice alone, I would opt to pay a company "directly". The only motivation I can see for doing otherwise (given THIS choice), is if one wanted to support the "third party" as well. I am failing to (again) read between my lines and see where I discuss business cost, decision, strategy, or anything else not related to paying thru Apple vs paying them 'directly'.
Back to my original, very simple statement, with no hidden meaning: Given the option between paying thru Apple or 'directly', I choose 'direct'. have a fantastic day! bo On Tue, Jun 14, 2011 at 3:41 PM, Simdude <[email protected]> wrote: > I think the other aspect to consider is opportunity cost.
