That's the way of the world. Google pay MSFT fees for tech used in Android.

Samsung make AMOLED panels for Apple among others.

TCL and BOE make LCD TV panels for Samsung.

I could go on and on.

Mr. duckman, are you saying that Microsoft has even more excuses for their shytty devs?

No, they don't. It's usually pennies in the dollar.

What Apple is asking is 30% just to be there. And quite frankly, I don't blame them.

Thats exactly how much Microsoft takes from 3rd party publishers on xbox

Starting with the simpler case first, the standard rate that Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony charge publishers for distributing games on their digital stores is generally fixed at 30%. So third-party console publishers retain 70% of the price for digital downloads of their games

The issue from Microsoft is that they're (technically) not selling anything, but providing a service. Cloud gaming. Or that's what they're arguing.

I'm with Apple on this one
