To help win an iPhone antitrust suit, Apple is again demanding commission data from Valve
dantheman827 said:Even if the commission rate is identical the crucial difference is that no one is forced to use Steam… they choose to because they prefer it.
People are forced to use the App Store and no alternative is allowed.
B. 30% commission was the standard for digital stores in 2008. Steam charged that. Console stores charged that. That's one of the reasons Apple chose 30%. So Apple was using a commission structure that was already established as being reasonable in the market. Steam didn't have control of Windows PCs and still charged 30%. Console companies did have control and still charged 30%.
