      There I am criticizing Microsoft “curtailing users’ freedom to install full-featured PC software, and subverting the rights of developers and publishers to maintain a direct relationship with their customers”, not exclusives.

      The whole thesis here is that stores should be free to compete, and gamers and developers should be free to use stores of their choosing, which is exactly what is happening here today.

      So where our option to buy it on steam? Where is it? Where is my choice?

      Is there a consumer right to buy any product in any store of your choosing? Do we have the right to buy a Toyota at a Ford dealer? A Whopper at McDonalds? No; stores compete on selection as well as price and features.

      Epic didn't create Metro Exodus. Illogical comparison. Tim, have you been following the news? Are you fully aware of what's going on with the Epic Games launcher? Do you make these decisions, or is it the suits? You're coming off as being a little out of the loop.

      I’ve been following this very closely and understand that people who prefer to buy games on Steam prefer not to deal with a second store. But developers will never escape Steam’s 300% to 500% markup on operating costs if all games are on Steam at equal prices.

      How so? We process Fortnite payments and pay for CDN bandwidth and customer service. This costs 5-8% combined in most territories. So a store charging 30% is marking up that cost by 300-500%. Please elaborate if you have conflicting data.

      I notice you forgot to talk about all the payment processors where you put the cost entirely on the customer. So the 6-8% is a literal lie.

      The surcharge is for several international payment processors whose costs are high, for example because customers in developing countries do not have credit cards or bank accounts and must purchase payment cards in retail stores.

      These payment methods comprise a small fraction of overall transactions, however for customers in those countries, they are the only widely accessible ways to pay, hence we support them and pass on the excess transaction costs.
