MODERATORS
if I understand correctly, he's arguing that since consoles are sold at a loss and the store has to make up the difference, Epic is ok with the 30% on the console stores. But Google and Apple charge full price for hardware so 30% for the google or apple app store is just being greedy and Epic's not OK with that.
