      Yeah, multiple launchers and competition are great but when paying publishers to make something exclusive to your vastly inferior store isn't.

      Lol, calling other people greedy scumbags when valve has been leveraging their monopoly on digital games distribution to hit devs in the head with 30% of the top of gross sales for going on two decades now.

      And to further prove how BS your argument is steam is even letting origin players invite steam players to play a game that isn't on steam.https://www.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/comments/an6lh4/apex_legends_is_an_origin_game_that_lets_you_link/ …

      Are you being serious? EA has a wide line-up of their OWN games. They aren't paying publishers to make their games exclusive to their storefront which is what this entire outrage is about?

      EA is one huge company with lots of games. Epic and many other devs/pubs are smaller companies with fewer games. Some of us have banded together in the belief that it’s in our best interest to exclusively promote a new store with an 88/12 revenue split.

      The arrangements made between the various companies are similar to the sort of future investment and accounting for store revenue and game revenue that would occur in a single larger company that decided to release its own games exclusively in its own store.

          Or do you honestly believe that #MetroExodus is gonna sell even decently besides the entire shitshow that's going on and will definitely keep going?

          @TimSweeneyEpic your probably not gonna read this Tim, but I think what you should do is at the very least, let @MetroVideoGame be available for preorder on steam this weekend for 24 hours, announce it. Then make it an epic exclusive again. This compromise will appease gamers.

          No, they're not. If a publisher decides to bring out their own launcher then power to them like Bethesda. BUT when you pay someone to remove a game from a platform 15 days before release then that's just scummy. That's not me, that's the collective of the gaming community.

          Exclusives were exactly the mechanism Valve used to get people on the Steam in the first place (CS, HL2). And what does the community care if a game is paid to be exclusive? It really bothers people THAT much to have multiple launcher? I don't believe you. #ManufacturedOutrage
