      So @TimSweeneyEpic... Are exclusives ok now if they benefit you? https://www.pcgamer.com/epic-ceo-tim-sweeney-pummels-microsofts-uwp-initiative/ … Or are you going to keep pretending you were talking about something different?

      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.

      I wanted to buy Metro Exodus on steam, which it was advertised to be released on. However someone didn't want me to, which must mean it was the developer, who got paid by you to do it. Which must mean you didn't want me to buy it where I wanted to. Which means you are a liar.

      This is the result of stores competing for developers. Despite an early lead and being the presumed winner, Valve ultimately lost the competition for Metro Exodus, because they offered the developer a worse deal than Epic.

          If we want more investment in development and better prices on games, stores are going to have to compete this way. If the existing market leader automatically got the rights the rights to all games, then they’d take 30% forever and the competition would continue to fail.

          This is ultimately nonsense from a consumer's perspective, since an additional monopoly that has exclusive games on it not because it's good but because it has financial backing is exactly the same problem as Steam has. tl;dr you played yourself

          The Epic Games store doesn’t block Steam, and Steam doesn’t block the Epic Games store, and both are freely installable online...

          I don't agree with you, Tim! Valve offers ALL developers to publish their game on @steam_games. You only let a few exclusive ones in! How do you know in advance if a game is successful or not? You can't know that! More stores only mean more work for small developers!

          Well yeah, you can't beat "Paying developpers to remove their games from elsewhere". You know it's not a sustainable model and is one akin to marketing. They didn't remove their game for a year because of your cut. But because you paid them to.

          Paying developers more money sooner enables them to fund new and better games sooner, compared to earning 18% less, later.
