> Regardless of the behavior of selecting "Epic direct payment," this is a flagrant violation of App Store rules. Yep, because they needed to flagrantly violate the rules if they thought the rules were not something that would stand up to legal scrutiny. The US court systems (particularly on the civil side) try not to rule on hypotheticals. They want to be discussing actual damages. Because of that, flagrantly violating the app store rules (to then get taken off the store) is the first step towards getting a judge to rule on if they were legal in the first place.
