Epic is famous for buying exclusive rights for games to make people play on their store. I hope they like eating their own food now.

That's not right...but imagine that...but every app and mobile game in the world. That's Apple. It's different.

Heh, game publishers are responsible for their decisions, not some "cruel" Epic who seduced little foolish publishers.

Epic is not a virtuous actor since it basically promotes exclusivity - we have seen that for a number of games, and more recently with Rocket League.
Steam, for example, does no do that: you can sell your game on Steam and outside of Steam at the same time and Valve will have no problem with it.
