Surely if it’s okay for EA to release their own games exclusively through their store, then it’s also okay for developers, publishers, and Epic to collaboratively release their games that way, by exchanging things of value to make it mutually beneficial.

That's not really a good comparison. No one is happy they have to use origin but also EA has not been paying other devs to publish exclusives on origin. If they are I'm against that too.

Precisely. That 'better deal' was a big check upfront for exclusivity. It's not a better deal long term, pr-wise, individual unit sales-wise, or consumer-wise. It is short-sighted, and I can't imagine the amount of backlash being worth it in the end. Just. Compete. Fairly.

Surely it would have been more beneficial to everyone if you could release games on the Epic Games Store AND Steam simultaneously? I mean for goodness sake, the Epic Games Store doesn't even have achievements or any other incentives.

To me that would be the epitome of putting that message put there. "Hey, You can buy that game on Steam, but you can buy it cheaper here on Epic and help developers." How could you lose with that? Everyone wins. It's like shaming them.
