36% is such an odd amount. Apple gets 30% of app revenue. 1/3rd would be 33%. How do they negotiate the extra few points over either of those baselines?

Started negotiating at 40%, agreed to 10% less "so 10% of 40 is 4, right?"

Started at six percent. Tim cook said "I WANT SIX TIMES THAT AMOUNT!!!"

"AND GET ME MORE PICTURES OF SPIDERMAN!!!"
