IMO The key takeaway is that developers are no longer afraid of Apple. Epic Games move would be unthinkable a few years ago. Looks like this will become common practice. Epic Games joins Spotify, what will be joined by X, Y.

Maybe at some point multiple developers will also follow and also file legal actions.

Well yes, Epic Games was a small and relatively unknown studio until they hit jackpot with Fortnite.

Is this sarcasm? Epic has been huge since the early 2000s.

No, nothing like they are today. Fortnite made them literally billions -- more than all of their previous titles combined.
