Developer makes a game for the iPhone, charges $1 for it.

I buy the game for $1.

Apple takes 30 cents.

My family of 5 all install the game and play it via family sharing.

Unity takes $0.20 X 5 = $1

Developer loses 30 cents on the sale.

You make an excellent point and it’s easy as a PC gamer like myself to forget, that Apple actually sells a lot more games than Value.
