I’m pretty sure the average spending of consumers on software today is far more than just a 30% increase from the times before the App Store. Realistically, the market easily tripled with its introduction.

From that angle, it’s easily worth a 30 % fee. Not because it costs that much to run it, but because it creates that value.

It's worth it to all the Legend of Heros games that are visible on the app store, certainly. For everyone else who doesn't get visibility, it means nothing.
