So, let's say hypothetically Epic allowed the sale of third-party skins in Fortnite. Would a skinmaker would be entitled to demand the following concessions?

1. The ability to install skins outside of the V-bucks store.

2. The ability to pay for Fortnite skins using payment methods other than V-bucks.

Alternatively, should Epic not be permitted to impose the following restrictions in their Fortnite store?

1. Skins must be approved by Epic before they can be sold. No x-rated skins, etc.

2. Epic will take a 30% cut of each skin sold.

What if I'm a skinmaker that wants to compete with Epic because I think I can provide higher quality Fortnite skins than they have made. Should I be able to demand to participate in the "Fortnite skin" market which is currently 100% controlled by Epic?
