Much as this whole situation is pretty scary from Unity - Improbable's TOS aren't much better - https://auth.improbable.io/auth/v1/eula

Section 4.4 says you can't launch any game on their tech without speaking to them first, and you have to get explicit permission to not use Steam, or their "content launcher"

They mentioned in one of their blog posts that they noticed similar unclear wording in their own ToS and are looking into resolving it.

Oh wow.

I wonder if Epic noticed that. Because that's bad for their own store.
