Apple doesn’t get 30% when retailers sell iTunes gift cards.

But they do once the consumer spends that gift card. So charing 30% for the gift card would sort of be charging the Apple tax twice, wouldn't it?

If retailers get 20% of a $100 iTunes gift card, then Apple gets $10, the developer gets $70, and the retailer gets $20.

Epic should sell iTunes gift cards.
