Windows Phone suffered from a lack of applications,<br> which eventually led to the disappearance of the platform,<br> and the Microsoft Store on Windows 10 is still quite \"empty\" compared to Mac AppStore,<br> iOS AppStore and Google Play . The new strategy of the company is to give more money to developers.\n\nWhile most digital stores work with 70% of the revenue paid to the developer and 30% for the platform owner,<br> the new Windows Store rules will bring 95% of the money directly to those selling apps. Since Microsoft also has multiple platforms,<br> these rules will only apply to apps,<br> not games.\n\nMicrosoft Windows Store 10,<br> Windows Mixed Reality,<br> Windows Phone,<br> and Surface Hub customers will only cede 5% of their proceeds to Microsoft,<br> while game developers still obey the old rules. So,<br> the Xbox Live platform is not affected by these changes.\n\n![ (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmVqHrg65CExfvPFWiXFAEgjVQB5jays17gx2bvmW6Hfjf\/image.png)\n\nHowever,<br> Microsoft specifies that applications that are promoted through Microsoft Store will be subject to more specific rules. For these,<br> the developer keeps \"only\" 85%,<br> while Microsoft holds the remaining 15% of the proceeds. A similar situation can be found in Apple and Google stores,<br> but only in the case of annual subscriptions (85% \/ 15%).\n\nThe announcement was made under the BUILD annual convention,<br> which takes place this week. This monetization plan will take effect sometime around the end of the year and will cover both new and existing applications.",<br>"json_metadata":" \"tags\":[\"technology\",<br>\"new\",<br>\"gaming\",<br>\"news\",<br>\"life\" ,<br>\"image\":[\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmVqHrg65CExfvPFWiXFAEgjVQB5jays17gx2bvmW6Hfjf\/image.png\" ,<br>\"app\":\"steemit\/0.1\",<br>\"format\":\"markdown\" " |
