You’re comparing apples to oranges, no pun intended. Visa and MasterCard charge what they charge because the volume of transactions is much higher than any on the App Store. Apple is not charging some crazy, unheard of amount. Android is 30%, PlayStation, Steam and Xbox are 30%…most anyone who runs a storefront charges 30%.

Imagine EA putting up a link on Sony’s storefront where it redirects you to the EA App so Sony doesn’t take their 30% cut…would that also be ok? For a judge to say it is with Epic and Apple is going to further discourage anyone from investing the money required to be a platform holder, further homogenizing our industry where consoles won’t exist and it’ll all be PCs.

Dangerous move by a judge who has no idea what it takes to bring a platform to market and maintain it over many years.
