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.

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!1 reply 0 retweets 5 likes
We’ll be opening the store up much more widely later in the year.

Well thats nice to hear! Please make sure, that you offer an easy backend API for achievements and such stuff. It's a lot of work to integrate all this shops ;).
