Wow, it sure is a coincidence that its being cut to basically the same rate (though a different structuring) as Apple. First google independently came up with the 30% rate just like Apple did, and then they independently came up with 15% for the first $1M like Apple did.

I get the sarcasm but really its a duopoly game like a Stackleberg. The best move is to match and not try to undercut.
