Far too little, far too late. Even if this was the most glowing revision ever (it isnât, but even if it was), the trust is gone.

I know I wonât be using it. There is no guarantee that they wonât do something similar in the future.

And therein lies the rub.
Theyâve proven they canât be trusted. The people who devised and attempted to enact this plan - the exec team - have not gone anywhere, and they arenât going to. They have shown the industry who they are, and they clearly donât give a shit about business ethics or even legality (the AppLovin shit smells an awful fucking lot like anticompetitive market interference). They will definitely try something similar in the future.

They can just creep up the fee bit by bit and they can say, hey itâs not as bad as that runtime fee we announced in 2023

Not just that but what other new fee will they create and force on developers out of nowhere?
