How about a 100% cut on in-app purchases. And a 100% revenue tax. They shouldn't exist.

WTF is this comments section here? I don't give a rat's fuck (if that is a thing), about what Tim Sweeney thinks about Valve, or if Valve is a good company or not.

Charging 30% of revenue for a digital store is clearly nit justifiable and Valve makes insane amount of profits just by having a near monopoly on PC game sales. They don't need that much and it's still just digital feudalism regardless if who does it.

You guys are just stuck in the good guy/ bad guy mentality and honestly, it's kind of embarrassing to get this defensive over a company.
