Actually you can, this clause only applies to steam keys which is understandable especially since when selling those you keep 100% of the profits while still using steam features. However nothing keeps you from selling your game both on steam and epic games store while having it cheaper on egs, as any copy sold on egs will not be a steam key and therefore will not use steam features / bandwidth.
however, i managed to unlock it somehow, first i sent them a trouble ticket asking why i could not tweet anymore (which immediately got me an email that said my account was locked for "suspicious activity" and that i needed to confirm my identity with phone number), then i requested all the data they had on me through the profile options, waited 3 days for them to do the archive then when i logged back in to download it they would only ask for a recaptcha challenge to unlock my account
perhaps they consider bots unable to request gdpr data ?
at least i am glad hn exists, it is the only thing that loads everywhere
