Catch FastSpring’s Session

D2C in 2026: Global Growth in Web Stores
2025 was a year of unprecedented growth for D2C, with rulings like Epic v. Apple and Epic v. Google unlocking new growth vectors for web store revenue in the United States.
In 2026, major platforms have responded by restructuring their fee models on a global scale. The all-in 30% fee will soon be reduced and split into separate fees for service and billing.
The new fee structure is a win for game developers, but it also introduces deeper complexity beyond the simple 30% model. So what now?
Join this talk where Chip Thurston, Head of Gaming at FastSpring, explains what to expect and how to strategically grow web stores globally in the new D2C landscape.
