Unless they're actively losing money in their deal, they're not gonna care if the sale comes immediately or years later. If Epic exclusive + late "hold outs" = $$$, they're just gonna do that until the equation changes.
It's less money in their pockets and more money in ours. That's not going to be a double win in their books.
Nobody ever hurt a company or made them reconsider their decisions by giving them money, no matter how little it was.
Companies definitely do not like waiting for money.
