      I hope this works out for you, Bruce Wayne. I don't envy the uphill battle you and your team face trying to convince a willfully blind consumer base that what's good for them is actually good for them. 🤷‍♂️ Your best bet is going to be to focus on the younger generation of gamers.pic.twitter.com/ua3lvboqk1

      From the reddit link, Tim's own words: "In other words, to compete as a store and encourage healthy competition between stores." So how do you explain Satisfactory delisting themselves from Steam while Ashen changes their date to TBD?

      This is stores competing to give developers the best deals. Here, we made a deal which convinced the developer to move to the Epic store. Steam’s position is still “we take 30%, but you’re not allowed to sell your game for a lower price elsewhere”. Steam lost this deal.

          The pro-competitive result is: the developer got a better deal, which enables them to achieve some combination of lower prices and making more profit which they can reinvest in future development.

          Players are ultimately going to prefer the immediate convenience of a single storefront over the long-term benefits that A) come from their $$$ going directly towards more game development and B) emerge from the competitive pressure you place on Steam. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_marshmallow_experiment …

          How about not pay the dev. for exclusivity and let's dev decide which store they will choose by themselves? FYI, @steam_games doesnt do that.

          Steam is convenient for consumers, ya won't convince the masses to pack up 100's of game libraries to move over to your peace meal store, honestly with your exclusive plans all your doing is shoving another exclusive wedge in our OWN pc platforms, get enough of that with consoles

          > Steam’s position is still “we take 30%, but you’re not allowed to sell your game for a lower price elsewhere”. Steam lost this deal. That's an interesting bit of information, and further explains the frustration in developers. ...still doesn't help with consumer frustration.

          That's a lie. Witcher 3 was cheaper on GOG than on Steam, just to name an example. And #MetroExodus costs the same on your store than it costed on Steam. So your argument is pointless anyway since Steam's alleged position could have been honored.
