[QUOTE="ZeroStrawberries, post: 1073374, member: 86326"] From what it seems, this will only apply in the EU, other regions will not get any benefits of the DMA. The organizations need to have €1 Million in credit from a bank to even launch a third-party marketplace, and every app download will cost €0.50, excluding the first million downloads. The cost for each download will also apply to Apple's App Store if a third-party marketplace is created. It sounds like monopolistic behavior, to make it as difficult as possible or even next-to impossible for competitors.
