Yep, it’s not a bad thing to have an alternative to the popularity lottery. Heck, people make the same choice every day by going to work and not spending all their money on lottery tickets, guaranteed income vs taking a chance to win big and considering how many games there are on Steam and how few of them make their money back, it’s not a bad move to have a contract telling you exactly how much you’ll make by releasing exclusively on a specific platform for a limited time.
The actual developers using it obviously disagree so I’ll take their word over your incoherent childish rant.
The small handful of games that have chosen to release via epic did so for the up front cash advance to mitigate their risk releasing their game.
Virtually every single one released on Steam the second their exclusivity agreement expired, because that’s where all the revenue is from.
