Yeah, I'm with you on this. Consumers and business keep going to steam because of its value proposition to both parties. Businesses develop for the Apple store because its literally the only way to interact with 50% of the mobile market.

One is a choice the other is a requirement. To develop for apple products you must pay apple 30%. To develop a PC game you don't need to pay anyone anything (can release through any mechanism or multiple mechanisms).
