What exactly does Apple think that they’re brining to the equation in order to deserve that 30? Is it simply that they’re hosting an app on their store, so therefore they’re entitled to a cut?

So if I write a novel, and get it published, Microsoft can say "We deserve 30% because you used our product to produce your product?

I’m so fucking tired of corporations. It’s well past guillotine-o-clock.

That Steam fits the legal defintion of a monopoly because Steam controls such a massive part of the market.
