    PlayStation and Xbox subsidize the cost of the console.

    Apple and Google have been having their 30% fees (and the monopolies that allow them) struck down by courts and competition regulators around the world.

      PlayStation and Xbox subsidize the cost of the console.

      Valve is subsidizing their services that they provide to gamers.

      Apple and Google have been having their 30% fees (and the monopolies that allow them) struck down by courts and competition regulators around the world.

      They have 15% since 2020 or so. As far as I understood, Apple got sued, then changed the cut% and Google followed shortly after to avoid getting sued. Once app earns more than $1 million, it gets 30% cut again.
