If a game I'm interested in does this it'd be a deal breaker. Not because of the extra login but because I absolutely hate Epic's MO in running their store. I can get behind EA, Activision & co. making their own stores and deciding to not sell the games their studios develop on Steam. Fair enough, they make it so they can choose where to distribute. But Epic forcing exclusivity through monetary payments is introducing a cancer I will never support.
I'm very confused by what problem you're describing.
Epic pays producers for store exclusivity is what he has an issue with I think. I'm personally just waiting for this game to go on sale like all Sonic titles do (and most other games I buy), and the exclusivity window will also likely be closed by that time.
But that's not what happened at all with this game. I don't get it. The complaint seems very minor. The game uses epic for cross play features- so what? A lot of games use third party accounts for this.
