From PC World: In the latest Windows Developer blog post, Microsoft announced that “individual developers” will no longer have to pay any “onboarding fees” to upload their apps and games to the Microsoft Store. Previously, developers paid a one-time $19 fee to publish on the store.
As a result, small-time developers will not have to share their payment details with Microsoft, BleepingComputer reports.
“Developers will no longer need a credit card to get started, removing a key point of friction that has affected many creators around the world,” Microsoft writes in the statement.
“By eliminating these one-time fees, Microsoft is creating a more inclusive and accessible platform that empowers more developers to innovate, share and thrive on the Windows ecosystem.”
