The
overall charge comprises of 30 percent hardware platform fee for sales made
through Meta Quest Store, where it sells apps and games meant for its virtual
reality headsets, and a further 17.5 percent cut as its Horizon platform fees,
a Meta spokesperson told Reuters on Wednesday.
On
Monday, the tech giant said it would start testing tools for creators to sell
digital assets and in turn make money on Horizon Worlds, a key part of its plan
for creating a metaverse.
Meta chief executive officer Mark Zuckerberg has been a
critic of Apple's app store fees of 30 percent, but Meta's latest move to
charge creators nearly half their sales on its own platform has angered many of
them.
The Facebook parent company, which changed its name to Meta
last year, has invested heavily in virtual and augmented reality to reflect its
new bet on the metaverse, a futuristic idea of a network of virtual
environments accessed via different devices where users can work, socialise and
play.
