Epic went on to mention "a level playing field" in the post. By this he means that he will offer an equal distribution of income to Androidu/iOS like on PC. So developers will keep 88% of the revenue generated by their games, while Epic will get 12%. This is significantly less than Google Play and Apple's App Store, its share is up to 30%.
