Removal of BF1 from Epic games.

Not sure how many are there like me but I'd like to raise an issue that seems unfair to me.

Recently, BF1 was removed from the Epic games - yet it is still available on Steam. I purchased the game on Epic - almost on the first day of release - while it was not available on Steam yet (if it was available on Steam right away, wouldn't have bought it from Epic at all). Right now, EA is expecting me to re-purchase the game on Steam again because they removed a game from my library basically. Steam and Epic do not concern each other - we all know. however, I see this as developer's responsibility that keeping it fair for all the player base. Removing a game where it is initially only was available on that platform and expecting players who made that purchase to purchase again on another platform is a bit bizarre to me. This may be a small crowd who perhaps still enjoys the game and see's it the way I see it but as a game developer myself, I'd like it to be addressed and be provided by a solution where I still could enjoy a game I spent money on. It could have been a different story if the game was completely unavailable anymore - or deal between EA and Epic was cut entirely but it is not the case. what could be done is to provide those who have been affected from this change with developer keys to obtain the game on Steam.
