About that 20% cut - I’m not going to argue about what amount would be fair, but for that money they do handle all the payment, distribution and infrastructure. In that sense it’s more comparable to Steam, Apple, Google etc.
But that’s getting pretty off-topic.
No need for these kind of inflammatory comments, the article itself is bad enough.
If you read the article, you would have seen that, yes, the perpetrator is serving a 20 year sentence.
