The EU's Digital Markets Act aimed to allow apps and games to run their own independent payment systems for in-app purchases, challenging Apple's 30% cut. Apple created a loophole, charging a Core Technology Fee for having their own stores, potentially facing fines for not complying with the new rules.
Apple's loophole included charging a Core Technology Fee of €0.50 per install for apps wanting their own in-app stores, affecting companies with a million+ installs. Unexpectedly successful apps could incur high charges like €1 per two installs, plus 3% fees for iOS's payment software.
