Epic said outloud that their entire lawsuit wasn't about "principles" and they just wanted "special treatment" from Apple for being a big name.
So anyone trying to pretend there is any moral or principle at play here is just revealing themselves to be easily swayed by propaganda, exactly as Epic planned in a fucking spreadsheet to use them for in this legal battle.
Apple is a monopolistic company and absolutely deserves to be ripped apart, but let's not rewrite history to make Epic a victim or reduce their role down to "mean tweets".
Epic made it clear what it was really about, when they pulled the exact same shit with google on android. Android allows the downloading of apps without using google's services. Sure they refer to it as "sideloading" instead of downloading and put in vaguely scary warnings for CYA, but it's still entirely possible to have apps on android without giving google a cut.
Tim Sweeney is just butthurt that he can't profit off of their services, without giving them a cut.
