I'm fine with that. As long as their Developer fee is significantly more.

Doesn't Epic have a pretty big monopoly in the game industry?

Yes. "test proven or clinically diagnosed corona infection". Clinically diagnosed means that they had symptoms that COULD be COVID-19. But unless they are tested it's not definitive evidence of anything, and further puts into question the treatment. Many of the symptoms are just like the common flu. I understand people jumping, and hoping that this is some cure. Likely if anything it helps treat the secondary illnesses caused by COVID-19, and perhaps helps improve recovery in that way.
What are you basing these claims on? The only definitive research on these drugs for treatment: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S209580992... does not point to a large success. In fact many of the trial patients ended up in ICU, and their condition worsened. A single doctor who advertised that he had 600 patients, which only a few were tested and verified to have COVID-19 is not enough to data to base starting broad treatment. If they do work then by all means lets start medicating, but sadly nothing points to these drugs being that effective.
