> A Meta spokesperson confirmed to CNBC Wednesday that Meta will take an overall cut of up to 47.5% on each transaction. That includes a “hardware platform fee” of 30% for sales made through the Meta Quest Store, where it sells apps and games for its virtual reality headsets. On top of that, Horizon Worlds, will charge a 17.5% fee.

For all the grandstanding of Tim Sweeney and Epic Games about the "metaverse" and the "30% App Tax"... at the end of the day they made sure Epic's store doesn't take 30% and Epic's engine royalties don't stack on the store royalties. That is a show of goodwill.

Facebook is now in full-on "self-aware wolf" status, complaining about paying 30% to Apple purely because they wanted to take that 30% and missed the boat on mobile.

Cuts like those work for Roblox, why not Facebook?

You're right. Roblox should not be allowed to charge that much either.

Roblox is marketed towards kids who either doesn't know any better or cannot do anything about it.

Also, why is it ok for Roblox to have such high rates in the first place?
