How do you feel about Apple’s App Store tax in comparison to Google’s?

Valve should just take 12% and call it a day. It will benefit developers, and it will benefit us. Tim will release his games on Steam, Epic will retreat from exclusives, and Ubisoft will come back. Epic can continue to build their store and compare. Everyone is happy.

I don't think that 12% share is fair for Valve. Have you questioned yourself if the 12% cut would be enough for Valve to maintain and develop their platform as they do now.

30% tax is for the service and features steam provides. If your store is just an icon on the desktop, with no other functionality, 12% tax is outrageous. Try 0%.

Valve can provide those same features and service while charging less than 15% and still be massively profitable.

discord takes only 10% cut from devs and that "voice chat app" is still better than your whole company and way better than your luncher

Bad comparison, because Discord is targeting superfans only, since there is no store front and only channel stores.https://discordapp.com/sell-your-game

Still makes it better than most stores with straight 30% with no conditions for lowering it. But since Steam is so big it's easier to point a finger at it and call it the only bad guy on the market.

The amount that goes to publishers or not does not effect the end user experience. So why should the customer pay the same price for a product with worse support for features.

And then at the same time, Epic lets big AAA game developers to sell their games on all storefronts, Steam, GOG and Epic, cause Epic can't strongarm them. Timmy likes to say that they had an agreement but in reality, Timmy doesn't want to lose out on the extra cash.

Ironic is that Epic also sells Fortnite on consoles which also takes 30 percent cut. But he won't make a fuss about that, admit to that / come up with excuses cause he can't strongarm Sony / Microsoft. They tried that with Apple too but failed miserably there as well.
