> The single best move Europe could make would be to limit any digital stores to maximum 12% commission.

The App Store is already at 15% for recurring subscriptions, so this isn’t much of a stretch for either party.

It's only 15% after year 1. Until then it's 30%. Also, I believe it's 15% after an individual subscription has been ungoing for a year (it doesn't apply to all subscriptions after the app has been out one year).

Finally - does anybody know how users unsubscribing and resubscribing affects this? I do this a lot with services if I'm not using them in a partiular month - when I resub is the counter back at zero and I need 12 consecutive months before the developer drops to 15% comission?
