Apple sells iPhones for a profit even before the app store is involved. Consoles rely on game sales.

I'm wondering how you're thinking this distinction should apply in the real world. Would you say that if a game console is ever sold at a profit, the rules should change for that console platform?

I think these rules should apply to consoles too.

I never said how I felt about how the rules should be applied, I was just making a distinction between the two industries.

Stop em all from charging a percentage. All of em. Every industry.
