Microsoft Considered 88% Dev Cut on Xbox Store | The Jampack Report 5.3.21

Court documents from the Epic v. Apple court case have revealed that Microsoft at one point considered lowering its 30 percent cut on the Xbox storefront to 12 percent, shaking up a longstanding precedent in the gaming industry of platform holders taking a 30 percent cut from all revenue.
