The confrontation between Steam and the Epic Games Store is escalating every week: Tim Sweeney's company announces one exclusive deal after another (the latest high-profile announcement was related to Borderlands 3), and often publishers and developers refuse to cooperate with Valve after the project's page appears in her store.
