Can't speak for others, but Steam gets 30%

Does steam take any cut of in-game purchases for free to play games? I don't think they do, so that is a difference to consider.

Microsoft takes 5%.

Take an interesting case like a subscription fee for content, not just an app cut.

No one is angry about cuts from app prices (or prices that are effectively upgrades of an app e.g. from trial to full).

What I'm angry about is when apple wants X% of the price of content whhen they don't produce the content, they don't process the transaction. All they do is host the store where the $0 client app sits. I don't think it makes sense.

Google takes 30% (and have also kicked Fortnite off it's store).

And Epic takes 15%, (some of which goes to Epic's 40% owner Tencent).
