    That’s some bullshit right there. Every day should be Bandcamp Friday. I understand charging a small 1-3% fee to cover server costs, but nothing more. Otherwise Apple is just another evil record label profiting off of peoples’ talent.

      From what I can find, BC takes 15% for most sales, 10% for high-sellers. Dunno if that’s good or bad, but it seems low to me.

        It’s certainly lower than the 20-30% game distribution platforms take.

        I can pretty much guarantee the server & staff costs are more than 1% of sticker price, especially since BC includes streaming services.
