Apple Asked for 15 Percent of Web Purchases
The court said necessary costs. Apple said fifteen. Epic said zero.
You cannot be serious. Apple told a California court it wants 15 percent of purchases that finish on the open web, after admitting the Ninth Circuit's 'necessary costs' would be essentially zero. You compared yourself to Google Play and asked for a cut of a link. That's the pose. The web was supposed to be the door. Don't take fifteen off the web.
