    And the profit on V-bucks after paying store fees I estimate to be 90%. (Full disclosure I pulled that number out of the air but it’s probably close.)
    The cost of producing a "V-buck." amortized over the cost of developing the game is very, very close to Zero.

    A digital "V-buck" is an invented currency. It is a line of code? A few lines of code? Pure Profit! (Does anyone remember 150 texts per month for $15? Cost to phone company was essentially Zero.)

    The Apple App Store provides actual services (come on Epic! payment processing, auto updating apps, etc etc etc).
    Exactly. If I was Apple, I would not mind spending a few billion to make an example out of greedy Epic. I would just ask Epic in court. “ So you want to use our services for essentially free? Do you think we are in communist China?”

    Again, EPIC is not forced by anyone to use Apple App Store. If they chose to have access to the billion Apple users that Apple has spent years and billions building, they have to pay what Apple asks, otherwise, they can go sell to their own base , completely voluntary.

    who doesn’t understand that has communist tendencies I am sorry!

    I presume Epic's point is that Apple is making 80% profit on the [0%-15%-30%] of the sale of each app. The other [70%-85%-100%] of the sale price is entirely taken by the software vendor and their profit ratio could be much higher or lower than Apple's.

    Epic conveniently forgets that there's 0% cut on the free apps and Apple has to subsidize those products, which is where some of Apple's profits has to go.
    Epic Doesn’t have to use the Apple APP store!! What part of that is not clear? Epic can use their own resources and sell their games on their own! But no, they want access to Apple user which Apple spent years and billions to secure.

    If you think Epic has any reason here, I am sorry to say, but you are a communist .
