I think maybe I was (am?) reading too much into it because when I initially read that paragraph it just left me more confused! I guess I don’t really understand how the accounting of it works because they called it a “revenue share” which made me think one sale would result in:

$80 in developer revenue

$20 in Amazon revenue

But it also said the AWS credits will be based off of the developer’s revenue and judging by the “equivalent of 90%” it would seem that Amazon sees the transaction as more like:

$100 in developer revenue

($20) in developer expenses to list on the app store resulting in

$20 in Amazon revenue

But I wouldn’t consider that revenue sharing?
