Wanted to add that Apple's fee is pre-tax, and Apple doesn't pay taxes (duh).

Additionally, the refund policy of Apple is so bad that they keep the 30% and the developer has to pay for refunds 100%, meaning it's a net loss and a lot of indie game devs got doxxed into insolvency because of this.

That's brutal.
