Epic Announces the "EPIC Mega Sale", with $10 Off on Every Game Above $14.99
EPIC today announced their first ever EPIC Mega Sale, which brings a pretty linear discount across the games catalogue the online store has available for purchase. The company announced it is slashing at least $10/£10/€10 from every game priced above $14.99/£13.99/€15.99. This includes preorders on their own page, which means you can pre-purchase one of those soon to be released Quantic Dream games on the cheap (Heavy Rain and Beyond: two Souls can be yours for €9.99 right now, for instance), and Close to the Sun for €19.99. So if you are looking for some Epic Games Store exclusives (such as Metro Exodus for €34.99), go on and run.

So yeah, either Epic tried to force it or Developers were not informed. Epic must be that desperate and that Fortnite cash might start to run out soon.
Epic didn’t “force” the sale onto developers/publishers. Per the quoted line:
“Epic's recent mega sale forcibly discounted every game on the storefront over $15. If a game costs more then $15, that game automatically had a $10 discount applied to it on top of the sale price set by the publisher.” from the article you linked to on Tweaktown, the publishers set the sale prices after Epic said “let’s have a sale.”
What a few of them objected to was the additional $10 on top of their price. That extra was the forced part.
