    If they can charge 30% less without Apple’s fees, then why are their prices the same whether you buy on their iOS app or direct on their website? Why have they been overcharging users who don’t buy through the iOS app by 30% all this time?

      Old knowledge disclaimer, but if they didn’t change it then:

      Because Apple literally tells people that they’re not allowed to charge less somewhere else - at least that was the case several years ago…

        This is the same on most platforms. You’ll rarely find a product for different prices in different places because if they’re listed on Amazon, Steam, Apple, Google, etc. they’re not allowed to.
