Count to 10 and ask yourself the same question in front of a mirror
I'm sure you'll find the right answer
(Epic is not complaining that Apple takes a cut, but that the only way to ask for money to users is go through Apple store, which doesn't make Epic software, if Apple asked it only for Apple software, that would be much less of a problem)
I still have to give Epic a cut. Why can’t I accept credit cards on the Epic platform and bypass Epic’s “walled garden”?
Because the version available on people's phone still relies on their payment processor for in app payments.
The version on the phone allows people to bypass Apple’s in app payment.
Isn't Apple asking for a 30% cut on that?
The original sin was to allow in app purchases for consumables in games to fester on iOS in the first place. I would be fine if all games had to either be paid up front or allow you to pay for levels you keep.
