Tim Sweeney is mad about having to pay Apple's App Store commission. Developers for many years believed that by having their own "payment processing" they could pay nothing to Apple.

They are just doing it in a convoluted and less efficient way as a result of the one claim Epic won in Epic v. Apple.
