Well if you ever want to pay me 30% of 28 billion for an 8.8 petabyte transfer in 4 days, call me.

I'll buy you a bay area house from the spare change. Hell, I'll buy you 10 of them. Complimentary.

You missed my point, by.. a lot.

Nintendo don't pay 8 billion dollars for Apple to hose Super Mario Run.

They paid $99 a year, or maybe $299 a year if they have an enterprise account.

Sure, Apple doubtless made a lot of money from people buying IAP for that game, but as I said, a lot of games and even utility apps don't monetise via IAP or selling the app itself - they rely on advertising, which Apple likely gets $0 from.

But hey, way to completely twist what I said to make a stupid fucking joke.
