IGDA Warns Against Amazon Appstore's Pricing Terms
The International Game Developers Association, a global non-profit representing video game developers, issued a warning against selling apps Amazon’s appstore because it doesn’t give app makers control over their final pricing to consumers.
Under Amazon’s terms, developers earn either 70 percent of the price the company actually sells the app at or 20 percent of the developer’s requested price — whichever is greater. Developers also can’t price the app a higher than they do in other stores, so Amazon has to have at least as good a price as everyone else.
