ios and andoud games giving crypto isnt a problem. using it as ingame currency is. app stores have their own currency for this. how are they getting around this? you can give ion away in your games but cant sell ion to use in your game.... i think you missed this part
Oh id argue that your the one missing the part that there is ways around it. You act as though there is no ways around it and there are that are perfectly fine. One thing i can almost assure you is that this team knows the TOS of both. I know that because I dont miss things,like when they tell me when i invest in ION that if I have questions go to slack and ask. Well a person who cares about what he is investing in goes to slack and asks questions.
There are not ways to go around it. As per all platforms using steam as an example they prevent this occuring. Notice how crisis 3 isn't on steam? Thats because they wanted to sell the base game on steam and have ingame sales of expansions etc outside the steam economy. This invalidated the agreement on steam so they didn't list crysis 3.
If your game sells say crystals for points ingame to use its fine so long as you buy those crystals with apple instore purchases. These are set rate packs. So you could technically buy ion to use ingame with apple credits but 30% of all sales go to apple. So therefore ionomy has to inflate the cost over to make even. Unless they are mass staking free coins from masternodes to sell you?
Apple and android are QUITE strict on crypto in games and how its actually used and awarded. You cannot build an ingame shop that lets people sell their ion inside the game this is a store inside a store and not allowed.
There is no getting around it which you shouldn't consider with ion anyway. Doing so with getting around terms indicates dishonesty and intention to abuse a inplace system... remember how garza tried ot do that with amazon services when it was against TOS? Are you indicating that there are ways to get around it i.e trying to sneak around apple store rules?
Check out sarutobi (i think is its spelling). This game awards bitcoin over time though its small. It initially had problems getting onto the app store and had to pass a lot of things. All it is is a mini faucet.
So again i think you are missing the point. Unless you believe apple, google and microsoft are less smart with their lawyer contacts and team and team ion are geniuses (in which case i think you are deluded) then i don't think i've missed anything.
Platforms like steam, app store, play store and microsoft market don't make a platform for other people to make money with their audience without taking a big cut. You are playing on their field with their rules... after all they own it.
