The epic hate is tiresome. It sounds like they functioned as a publisher here, providing long term funding of development prior to release. The game isn't exclusive and has no DRM, I see no downside to this. Stop hopping on bandwagons of hate and enjoy your games people.
There is a downside. The best looking option - the developer website option - comes without regional pricing. This makes it the worst option for many.
People like having stuff on their Steam account because there is a value to that. Other people should stop acting like it doesn't matter.
Letting Fortnite money fund some developer is only good for that developer (and for some time), not the industry.
It's DRM free. Pirate it and add an external game to Steam if the other options are unappealing to you.
I doubt devs meant that side of "woohoo our game is DRM free". Even if that would be fine by me, you can see they are missing a lot. Cool if the developer got so much money they don't care about sales. But that could mean they also don't care much about user satisfaction or feedback.
