Wrong, Apple does not provide any additional features besides taking a cut.
I do think 30% is a lot, but this is absolutely wrong.
Steam, on the other hand, allows: cloud saves, family sharing, media library, big picture, controller support, Linux support, achievements, community, friends, groups, store with tag search, advanced review features, inventory, couch coop over internet, and fuckton of stuff.
Compare this to the APIs and features Apple provides such as iCloud storage, family sharing, media library (both photos/videos and music, separate APIs), AirPlay, controller support, Game Center achievements and leaderboards, integration with iMessage, two whole game engines to build off of, AR API that’s used even by cross platform AR apps like Pokemon Go, a ton of UI/UX tools, and tons of other stuff you need to make an app.
