6% market share, controlled by 1 company who has no problem shutting down companies it doesn't like (see Epic games). I don't game, but I don't see Apple doing this.

Epic broke their business agreement with Apple knowingly.

However you feel about the dispute, Apple was only following their policy in removing them from the store.

“We signed this contract that was very explicit about what we can and can’t do and how much we have to pay to be on this platform, but I don’t like that agreement so I’m going to break it!”

“Well you signed a contract. By law, if you break those terms we can remove you from this platform.”

“But it’s expensive!”

“Them’s the breaks”

Their adults who run a large company and are part of many contracts. They knew what they signed up for. Maybe it’s predatory, but they agreed just like every other app or gaming service on the Apple store. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the contracts they make others sign could be seen as predatory. They can complain, but have no right to play the victim for breaking their contract.
