[George K]

For developers who use their App Store and earn less than $1 million, the commission drops from 30% to 15%.

Smart move. Need to keep the app market vibrant.

The App Store, which launched in 2008, is the world’s safest and most vibrant app marketplace, currently offering 1.8 million apps and visited by half a billion people each week.

You can only push rent seeking so far before the peasants revolt.
This is just a short term pressure release.
A viable long-term solution is yet to come.

That won't satisfy Epic Games.

No, but it might hurt their (Epic Games') case.

Figures, I've been thinking lately of getting out of the business. A year from now I'll probably close up the shop. I sell 12 month subscriptions so I'll stop selling them soon, I already stopped on Windows and Android.

If it had been 15% all along that would have given me enough extra to pay for a nice Cadillac. I probably would have just blown it on something stupid.
