I'm aware of it. It doesn't resolve the biggest problems with Epic. In fact, it arguably makes them worse, by encouraging more people to accept Epic's policies and run their code. (Note that Epic Store games run Epic code regardless of how they're launched; it's built in to the executables.)

I want to read more about that. Do you have a source?

My source is me, by examining binaries and their behavior. (That is, the binaries themselves are the source.)
