I personally don't care about The Division to but I wish Valve would actually respond to this whole thing and give developers more incentive to stick with Steam. Epic are still scumfucks for playing it like this though.
The absolute worst thing that can happen, is Valve trying to throw around money to "fix" this. Sure, it's less jarring when THEY force the monopoly, but it's still the same tactic of forgoing improvement of service in favor of just forcing the issue. IMO, their best response would be to just not play on the same field and to proceed with whatever steam revamp they've been rumored to be working on. Lord knows that client needs the love.
Well, a lot of people do use the epic launcher. Not sure if it's the same audience as their game though.
RX590 (essentially a 580 but higher clocks)
If you buy a 580 you can choose 2 out of 3 games aswell.

I was very, very disappointed when i heard Supergiant (Bastion, Transistor) was releasing their next game Hades exclusively on the Epic Store. I adore their games but i'm not going to buy into that shit.
The Epic Store is scummy in so many ways.
Made by the dude who made SteamSpy; a website founded on the idea that consumers should have access to sales information. Yet the Epic Store provides no information whatsoever to consumers; no ratings, no reviews, no comments, no support. Plus there's the whole "datamining your competition" thing that's just really scummy.
Valve has never required exclusivity for any third-party games; Epic is doing it for a huge amount of games. One of these is clearly an asshole.
They say "developers want to control the narrative" which is why they don't allow reviews or comments or any form of public oversight of the quality of games. I don't give a shit that developers want it; developers want all the money in the world but that doesn't mean they're entitled to it. This just makes it a shitty fucking storefront.
Please, name a few.
Never played them, but I've heard they're solid games. That's the kind of thing I am afraid to see happening, because most likely other indie developers will follow suit.
