Ahhh, nothing like the sound of a company being screwed by another company
The users are the ones getting screwed. The costs of business are always passed to the customers. In the case of Google's and Apple's taxes this means all the customers and not even the ones doing IAP purchases because unlike actual sales taxes, apps aren't allowed to charge them directly to the buyer.
That’s not true at all, just don’t buy through Apple/Google, buy off their website. Apps charge extra for IAP (vs online) all the time, I have no clue what you are talking about.
