Comment on Japan law opening phone app stores to go into effectparent

Apple's app store monopoly together with a 30% commission is a modern form of way-laying

Most of the revenue from the App Store is from games (often in-app purchases from "free to play" games), so it's not surprising that they charge the same 30% platform fee that Nintendo charges.

Epic would of course like to pay lower platform fees to Apple for Fortnite than they pay to Nintendo (or Google) for Fortnite.
