    Q: How does iPurchase work and what percentage of sales does OpenFeint take?
    A: iPurchase works as an affiliate program for Apple. Apple takes thirty percent of a sale and from that thirty percent OpenFeint will take out five percent.


    so OpenFeint have a cooperation with Apple, and OpenFeint will take 5% and apple take 25 % from a sale? :confused::confused::confused::confused:

    Yes I believe that is correct, because OpenFeint is playing a part in generating sales for Apple they are rewarded with a portion of Apples cut. It doesn't change the amount the developer receives from Apple so I don't see any cause for alarm :)

    No, anyone can get the 5%. You just have to sign up with Apple to get approved to do it. Tons of sites get the 5% cut.

    Thanks!! No we haven't committed to any one in particular just yet, though we have done a lot of research into them all. And we haven't decided which one, if any, to use for Rune Mage.
