It would have been fine for them to purchase the studio (despite knowing an inkling of what they have planned), but when you purchase the studio and take a game that was released a few years back, off of one storefront in particular that it was released on, that's when things become obvious and not so great.
Like think about it. Of all the studios they'd bought, it happened to be one with a game that's also popular like FN, also contains visuals that appeal to all ages, and just happens to have a retained audience on Steam's storefront?. They want to force Steam user's hands. They want them stripped from Steam and put into their storefront, either via sheer annoyance, or just giving up and purchasing from them (which Sweeney is easily betting on, without a doubt).
I imagine either this year or the next few, Epic will do this again, where they see what sells the most on Steam, then proceed to snatch up both the devs and it's popular game. This strategy doesn't benefit the consumer, it just benefits Epic
