Thing is, 40% of Epic is owned by Tencent. Now I don't want to assume anything, but when push comes to shove who knows how they will react.

Came here to say this only. Epic has been able to afford poaching developers to release exclusively on their platform because of Tencent money, without that the Epic game store would be empty today.

This is baiting and improper market practices.

Well, that's the reason a lot of people dislike Epic. At least Metro Exodus will be out in 4 months once the exclusivity deal ends.

In my mind, Metro Exodus and Borderlands 3 haven't launched in PC yet.

Metro exodus launched on Windows store and free to play if you have Xbox gamepass for PC. They offered 1 month gamepass for 100 INR a month ago.

That's nice. But I'm yet to update to Windows 1903. Quite a few games to play with that pass.
