Ah, I forgot that bit. So Epic wants to list their products on the App Store and pay Apple $299 a year while they're earning millions off of one game.

As an Apple shareholder, I have to ask: what are they putting in the water over at Epic?

The only charitable explanation I have is that they don't want to put it on the App Store at all, but they aren't allowed to do that.

That's exactly right - they want to be able to install their own EPIC Games store that they can manage and extract 10-15% ish of the sales.
