Apple's new iOS terms in the EU are live: What alternative app stores now mean for game studios

Alexander Baksheev, the co-founder & CEO of Onside.io, explains the impact of Apple's newly enforced business terms across the EU and the implications for developers when it comes to alternative app stores. On the October 1st, Apple's new EU business terms, set out in Attachment 14 to the Apple Developer Program License Agreement, came into force. For developers, the main change is the fee. Apple has replaced the Core Technology Fee (CTF) with a 5% Core Technology Commission (CTC) on digital sales made through alternative app stores and web distribution.
