I have no issue with this as long as this does not force devs into exclusivity. The thing some folks do not realize is that it does take some effort to list your game on multiple stores and can be daunting. As such, smaller shops are more likely to use the behemoth that is steam for the better shot of success.
I hate epic (mostly because I really do not like Tim Sweeney), but competition is good as long as you don't lock it away from my choice of stores.
I suspect though that this is epic trying to find the next big thing, then buy out the developer and ruin a game like they did with Rocket league and Fall guys.
