"Avoiding the 30 per cent 'store tax' is a part of Epic's motivation," CEO Tim Sweeney told Forbes. "It's a high cost in a world where game developers' 70 per cent must cover all the cost of developing, operating, and supporting their games. And it's disproportionate to the cost of the services these stores perform, such as payment processing, download bandwidth, and customer service."

What they're talking about here is the ad revenue generated from the ads that Google hosts. That's Google's (or Apples) cut. The IAP's? That goes in the developers pockets. Good info, but it wasn't relayed correcty. Not a problem.
