30% is the standard cut for platforms though, going as far back as the Minitel. And yeah, any platform is evil by definition, but Big evil takes more than that

30% is the standard cut for platforms though, going as far back as the Minitel. And yeah, any platform is evil by definition, but Big evil takes more than that according to the OP.
- ncmncm 5y agoThere is no "standard". There is only what the market will bear. 30% seems to be an amount just barely low enough to avoid the attention of regulators in an environment just now absurdly forgiving of monopolists. But, yes, Big Evil takes more than a walled garden.
- BlueTemplar 5y agoNot in the technical meaning of the word, but for some reason, (app delivery) platforms (and software retailers) do seem to gravitate to a 30% cut and/or to treat it as some "baseline" ? https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/10/07/report-steams-30-cut-is-actually-the-industry-standard https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/10/07/report-steams-30-cut...
