> 2. If Epic allowed the sale of third party content, they should not be allowed to control what type of content is sold, nor should they be allowed to collect a percentage of each sale?

I don't think anyone has a problem with platforms charging _a_ percentage of each sale, just that Apple's is too high (and in the case of their dispute with Spotify, that it allows them to unfairly compete in their own marketplace)

Except Epic wants to force Apple to allow third-party payments so they can entirely avoid the Apple fee.

How much do Microsoft/Sony/Nintendo/Steam charge?
