GameStar, a German PC publication, did a survey and found 43% of readers used the Epic Games store, vs 95% for Steam. Quite an amazing install rate after just 15 months! And GOG is doing very well too. (Credit to r/fe for finding this)https://www.gamestar.de/artikel/steam-ist-bei-euch-doppelt-so-beliebt-wie-der-epic-launcher,3354200.html …

How many were forced under duress.. like they couldn't get it from any other platform due to Epic bribing game devs to be platform exclusive only?

Bribing us? You mean doing business right?

"money or any other valuable consideration given or promised with a view to corrupting the behavior of a person" They prepay you before you have made a single sale right? To prevent the competing platforms from selling. Sounds like a bribe to me.

Bribery is an act where an individual receives a secret payment in order to influence the behavior of their organization, in violation of their duty to that organization. That is what “corrupt” means there.

e.g The game devs were given a large amount of money as a bribe to be platform exclusive with Epic games.

http://dictionary.com ’s definition #2 is a silly trivialization of the word, under which any willing exchange of value between anybody would be a “bribe”. If we accept these trivializations, then impotent words used in discourse would be devoid of all meaning.
