In a recent interview with the technology site Verge, Microsoft’s chief executive, Satya Nadella, argued that Apple and Google had become too attached to running their app stores, at the expense of their broader platforms. Microsoft has frequently voiced opposition to the two companies’ platform policies, even filing a brief supporting a court case against Apple from the Fortnite developer Epic Games. The move is in stark contrast to Apple and Google’s mobile app stores, both of which require developers to use their in-app payment systems and charge sliding commissions ranging from 15% to 30% of the overall take. A different set of rules apply for game developers: their share is lower, at 12%, but they will not be given the option of using their own payment processors. Currently, developers who sell apps via Window have to use the Microsoft Commerce platform for in-app payments and share 15% of the revenue with the company.
