The neat part of this is that they're requiring Google to give up their library of apps to other stores and won't allow them to buy up exclusives for at least 3 years. I suspect we will see a lot of scam app stores really soon, though.

I am not a fan of epic games store myself but, Exclusives are not the problem it's monopolizing 99.99% of all apps and installs. It's OK for small app stores to have exclusives because there isn't enough money in the world a small company could spend that would destabilize Google app store at this point.
