I believe the 30% is referring to the share of revenue that Sony takes per transaction.
That doesn’t make sense. Steam takes the same cut. I’m sure all of the vendors do.
Epic made a whole selling point of taking less
They are also a dickbag company with a garbage platform.
Doesn’t matter. Not about the quality, nor the morons downvoting me. The conversation is about percentage and a misconception. Steam takes 30%. PlayStation takes 30%. Same with Microsoft and probably Nintendo. 30% is also the "small" portion Google and Apple take on their platforms. I only know of Epic and GoG that take less. We're talking about numerical fact, not opinion, and I can't help but notice it's the platforms that are comfortable having a monopoly that take 30% while the ones that publicly promote competition (or at least claim to, to be fair) that take less.
