Simple, they don't wanna share that micro transaction money with steam as its propping the company up.

World War Z is not published or developed by Epic Games.

Because it's probably the one thing keeping the Epic Game Store alive, and they do not want to share that money with Valve.

Both Steam and Epic are stores that sells games they don't own. Those games can be on any platform the IP owners wish.

Half-Life, Counter-Strike, Left 4 Dead, Valve owned games aren't on the Epic Game Store, and Epic owned games like Fortnite aren't on Steam.

This is like asking, why doesn't Burger King sell Big Mac's and why doesn't McDonald's sells Whoppers. But then questioning why they both sell Coke, because you don't know that Coke isn't owned by either.

The CEO of EPIC Games is greedy and doesn't want to lose income on the predatory micro transactions that Crapnite has.

like other stated, Ask Epic games as it is their game. Also seeing as Fortnite is their cash cow, they definitely not going to bring it over to Steam, as they will pretty much loose quite a bit of players what uses Epic just for Fortnite to Steam
