WTF, they can rule Google can't offer perks for exclusivity, but epic does that shit with it's game store.

Because Google holds a monopoly position and Epic doesn't.

That said, the irony didn't escape me either.

One offers an exclusivity contract in exchange for guaranteed income, the other offers exclusivity in exchange for having your app on their store.
