The is the wrong history though. It only matters if you accept the App Store == console analogy, which I don't. Historically speaking, App Store was not based on game consoles, it was based on the iTunes Music Store. Everything about the App Store design was exactly the same as the iTunes Music Store, right down to being in iTunes itself. App developers even uploaded their apps to iTunes Connect (which has only very recently been renamed to App Store Connect).
That’s a little like saying since the facts of how the people at Apple arrived at the original 30% disagree with your philosophical views on this matter, it seizes to be relevant. A personalized reality, with personalized facts. Alleged fact, much as it may not make sense to some in hindsight, is they used the Nintendo-Hudson Soft price model and it doesn’t change how they decided that because of anyone’s preferences. It’s totally different than to accept, it’s been this way - for too long - it’s time to change for a more equitable price model. But then that’s the crux about bringing this suit to court in a country whose judicial system is based on precedents.
