Pretty much every other platform charges 30% too. Steam? 30% Xbox? 30% PlayStation? 30% Google Play? 30% Samsung Galaxy Store? 30% YouTube Ad Revenue? 45%!

The only one that doesn’t is Epic, which charges 12% and recently it came out that they were struggling to make the store profitable.

So, not sure why Apple gets singled out here.
