Their attempt to strong arm an exclusivity deal failed and at some point they relented and put the game on their store.

If they had just hosted in on their service at the same time in launched on Steam it would have been better for their customers and more profitable for Epic. But they are more concerned about trying to force exclusives than do what is better for their customers, even if it loses them money.
