I pretty much only use the Mac App Store anymore. There are maybe 2 apps I use that I get outside of it. I have a bunch that I are woefully out of date because their developers abandoned me. It's too bad that rather than trying to push to make it a better place developers are just leaving.


How exactly do developers "push to make it a better place?" It's owned by Apple, nobody else has a voice, and Apple must be 100% clear on the perceived shortcomings seen by developers. It's not like there's a quarterly App Store Community Meeting where people can go and complain ...


Developers have been sending feedback to Apple for many years, and they haven't listened. The only option left is to vote with their feet.

Look on the bright side - losing big-name apps might finally force Apple to fix the MAS, then those devs might come back.
