MODERATORS
If the only choice is storefront A that's used by 100% of consumers and storefront B that's used by 0.1% of consumers then storefront A has a monopoly even if technically there's a competitor. They means storefront A doesn't need to sign exclusivity agreements because it knows no one will choose not to sell through them as it would mean not selling at all.
Epic doesn't force third party developers to sell exclusives with them either, they're free not to take their offer.
Funny how no one blames the devs for adopting anti consumer tactics
