Generally, all of these companies have many mouths to feed and could only come exclusively to an 88/12 store without funding assistance if confident they could earn as much revenue that way. For 88/12 to prevail, stores with these better terms need to grow.

Agreed. It’s a long-term effort, and it’s quite possible the stores of 2022 don’t much resemble the Steam or Epic Games store of today.

Do you ever see a future where gaming is like the Movies Anywhere program? Where you can buy a game from any platform and they'll show up on every other platform.

Yes, I think that will be the ultimate outcome of store competition and opening up the walled gardens. Where you buy a game needn’t have any relation to what platforms you play it on or which friends you play it with.

That's a great sentiment, and fantastic PR about ultimate goals. But sentiments and good PR backfires on you when you take steps that are directly contradicting of them; Your exclusivity is the polar opposite of everything you said.

But I think a necessary step to getting from where we are to a better place. Nobody taking a 30% cut of everyone’s game sales has any motivation to connect ecosystems.

We’re starting by working with UbiSoft to enable players to connect accounts and friends across ecosystems, and Humble to support direct purchasing from their store to our ecosystem.

Yes, we’d love to do this through standards that are available to everyone. Ultimately there needn’t be any couplint between the store where you purchase things, the platforms you use them on, and the tools you use to install and update them.

Are developers with an exclusive contract with Epic not allowed to release physical copies with the game on the physical media and that don't use some platform like Steam or Epic? Download code in a box like Metro obviously doesn't count as a physical copy.
