This is literally just a souped up version of their original market share scheme. It didn't work out for most devs before, why would it now? Epic is just trying to corner the market with these exclusive deals but nobody gives a fuck about epic besides a free game sometimes.
I don't think I've spent any money on the Epic Launcher yet but I'm happy to see them try their best. Competition is good and needed.
