just read about it, looks like its a fairly recent change. and it also looks like its going to be the downfall of the app store

also still wouldn't make sense to tax an auction house that doesn't deal with real cash, or the virtual currency that is directly purchased with cash. it just seems like a scheme.

They don't have to tax the auction house. Does anyone here play boom beach? I'd be similar to purchasing diamonds and than incurring fees and taxes when using those diamonds. They're making us pay twice.

Now an auction house almost always does have a tax, but typically between 5-10% with 15% being a high outlier. To charge us 30% tax is ludicrous and blatantly unethical.

What makes it better is one of the top tier perks, government intervention, only drops the tax a mere 10%. At the least, for one isolated sale, we should have the benefit of reaping 100% profits.

This game typically finds ways to benefit the player, than they actively make alterations to ensure that at the end of the day, the only person truly benefiting is cash daddy. This is seriously one of the biggest 'troll' companies I've ever dealt with.

Called Google the other day and have a on-phone conversation with this guy at 4 pm PST. They don't take anything of 30% from CD. When a developer decided to "list" an app on Google Play Store, Google does make some profit from the game developer, but no way close to 30%. They refused to give me the actual number, but 10% would be more reasonable -- if it isn't already (and still) an overestimation.

guys... the 30% is just to keep you playing hard when theres no event to build RP...

I remember reading an article at some point last year where their take on in-app purchases was 30% across the board. I can't remember exactly where though.

We always knew we were playing against the house edge. Subsequently I never get my hopes up.

Also, why did the OP get banned?
