@igel Yes. It feels weird though.

I think they are trying to increase pressure before attempting to negotiate by doing these stunts.

Do they? Weren't there several apps with malware on Google Play. Apple does quite a thorough inspection though.

Google does say “Developers offering products within a game downloaded on Google Play or providing access to game content must use Google Play In-app Billing as the method of payment.”, but that's irrelevant because they aren't required to use Google Play to be on Android, however they are suing Google too.

Definitely. Even if you don't have any microtransactions in your free game, Apple still requires you to go through them which means they are abusing their position.

@Moon
Apple has quite a lot of different SDKs but I don't know how useful or worth it they are plus iOS dev must be done on Macs.

@kline
That's obvious they don't want to share profits.
I don't want to defend Apple or Google but why should they host and distribute an app for free? They aren't a charity. If Epic used a third party payment processor only, Apple and Google would be distributing this extremely popular app at a loss.
