Unity also announced that it would retrospectively apply to all developers who already publish games. Apple is apparently going to let developers remain in the current model or opt into the new one, and if that is correct, makes a difference here.


just want to point out that 1 "update" is also considered 1 "first annual install". So essentially you need to pay for previous acquired members/installs. Like for facebook, assuming they have a force update this year, then they need to pay for every iOS install even if it occurred before.


Yes, but only if they proactively switch to the new fee terms. They can still with the current terms (which doesn’t allow non AppStore distribution) and not pay the CTF.

Makes switching to the new fee structure pretty unattractive for a lot of big companies.
