Agreed, but at least that is an upfront rule that technically applies to anyone with X amount of money. This is some back room handshake shit.

I’d be better if Apple / Google lowered their fees based upon how many installs anyone hit. At least it would apply to everyone, not just a couple of billionaires scratching each other's backs.
