Apple has always allowed physical good sellers to use external payment systems. Even complete nobodies you've never heard of. It's always made their rules seem ridiculous IMO.


There's a vast difference in scale though? Those complete nobodies probably don't get as many transactions as all the "F2P" slopware games do.


Why does scale matter? I thought it was about "security". You only need to pretend to send me a t-shirt once to steal my card info.

There's also nobodies in the F2P game space just as their are giants in the retail app space like Amazon.


Exactly, one needs to pretend just once, giving scammers significantly more opportunities like that is thus bad.
