Hollywood Accounting has nothing to do with hiding revenue. It obfuscates profit. Epic standing to make money is not a problem. Apple made its money when it sold the phones to customers. It has no right to continue to extract taxes. That is completely unrelated to hollywood accounting. The fees on links are just part of a broader problem that apple is preventing fair competition on software distribution.
