In the nineties (1990-1999) we had a distribution deal in the USA with the PowerUp! catalog for a software product that moved a few millions of copies. Of the $24.99 sticker price we received something like $0.80 and that was an USA-only deal. Giving 30% for a worldwide deal when the distributor takes care of all the billing and taxing and accounting and distribution is the deal of the century.

But they don't need to take care of billing, taxing, and accounting. Stripe does that well. PayPal. Many others. Open it to competition. Decouple payments from the distribution (appstore).
