It's likely they add 30% to what they pay their supplier. At least that's what it was like 15-20 years ago when I worked in a games store, for PC and vide games

- dudus 6y agoInteresting. So maybe that's where apples 30% margin comes from. Retail stores charge that so they figured a virtual retail should charge the same. Except it has a much lower operating cost.
- m_eiman 6y agoThere are also a couple more levels in a physical supply chain, each adding their own percentage: manufacturer, distributor, probably a few more I don't know about.
- colejohnson66 6y agoWhen Apple introduced the App Store with iPhone OS 2, didn’t they claim than 30% was less than half what retail chains could charge?
