Whatever, it's pretty clear that you won't admit you're wrong. Nobody in their right mind would invest in something and then act against it, that's just stupid which is what Sony is doing, to surprise of no oneIt makes perfect sense. They want to try to make the most money possible.
They invested in the company without thinking that they were going to actively try to help their money grow. People or companies don't help companies they partially own in very facet and sacrifice your own money for them unless you think you'll make more money in the end doing so. Most people who think AMD or Apple stock will go up and buy it don't then exclusively buy AMD and Apple products to help their stock in a minuscule way. They buy what they actually want to buy and what is the most economical and brings them the most value to themselves. Microsoft doesn't do everything to support Facebook just because they own a small percent of them. They still compete with them on many facets because it makes them more money. But they still thought Facebook could still double, triple, or whatever in size.
You forget that Epic Games main business is making games (Fornite) and selling their engine (Unreal Engine). Sony probably invested in them because a shit ton of games rely on them nowadays and they have one of the most popular games in the world. Not because of their digital store front with a negative perception, no innovation and that's currently bleeding money. So yes, thy are going to grow a lot while Sony releases games on Steam too because Epic's main business units are not affected by that.
If Sony exclusively puts their games on EGS, they will probably make way less money than putting it on both. If Sony invested in Epic Games because they think the company will go up,. then the value of EGS would have to go up a lot because of that decision in order to justify denying Steam-only users.
Sony likely expects to make more money in the end because Epic Games will go up at its own volition and by being able to capitalize on all PC users they make a shit ton of money. Whatever money they would have got by supporting EGS only is likely seen as too risky (and speculative) or too little.
They could release the game for both stores but it seems that just makes too much sense for them.
