Steam Takes 30%, iOS Takes 30%

Text on the meme

KNOW THE WORK RULES APPROPRIATE ill take 30% on the steam store AWWW, YOU'RE SWEET. INAPPROPRIATE ill take 30% on the ios store HELLO, HUMAN RESOURCES?!

What it means

A two-panel comic compares Gabe Newell taking a 30% cut on the Steam store with Tim Cook taking a 30% cut on the iOS store. The same business practice is portrayed as sweet and acceptable for Steam, but outrageous enough to call Human Resources when Apple does it. It is used as a sarcastic reaction to perceived double standards around platform fees.
