    Old knowledge disclaimer, but if they didn’t change it then:

    Because Apple literally tells people that they’re not allowed to charge less somewhere else - at least that was the case several years ago…

      This is the same on most platforms. You’ll rarely find a product for different prices in different places because if they’re listed on Amazon, Steam, Apple, Google, etc. they’re not allowed to.

        That isn’t exactly true with Steam. Valve does allow a dev to offer a discount at a different store as long as that same discount comes to Steam in a reasonable amount of time.

        Straight from the docs:“It’s OK to run a discount for Steam Keys on different stores at different times as long as you plan to give a comparable offer to Steam customers within a reasonable amount of time.”

          That’s probably only for selling steam keys on another store. You might be able to sell non steam versions for any price you want

          Yes but recent lawsuits have exposed that their policies and their enforcement aren’t aligned.
