Developers, or their MBA publishers? I HIGHLY doubt developers beyond indie studios benefit from this.

I don't have a problem with Epic offering this. The problem is with publishers that take this offer. Bunch of greedy bastards.
Any game that signs a deal with epic like this goes on my boycott list.
Actually a compelling deal for developers, wonder how many indie / AA developers will go for that instead of steam
