The way this is worded makes no sense - surely it should be for the first $1,000,000?

$1,000,000 = $150,000

$1,000,001 = >$300,000?

It feels like a knee-jerk reaction to the ongoing complaints without much forethought other than an arbitrary change in the percentage below some round number.

So on Jan 1st every year your commission would suddenly fall from 30% to 15%, until you hit $1M and it jumps back up to 30%? That seems rather arbitrary.

You’ll probably find the actual rules even more arbitrary. In year 2, your January sales will still pay a 30% commission if you hit $1M the prior year.

That would be an incentive to drop the price is almost 0 until January if you see that you're trending towards $1M at the end of the year.

Honestly?

Fire sale prices on apps around the holidays sounds like a consumer win to me.
