      Tim himself said in an interview that they wanted to avoid a Metro Exodus scenario again where a game is available on a platform, and then they pull it off that to be am EGS exclusive

      Yeah, thanks. I couldn't find it. I understand my face on Twitter is a bit... Brunt, but I'm curious to know what the difference is in the partnership with UbiSoft and that statement, or is it moreso to do with the year long timeframe that's there?

      I'm sure there are details you can't divulge, but I'm sure you can see why this is a bit confusing from a consumers perspective/perhaps a bit, deceptive? That might be too strong a word.

      This deal was signed before Steve’s statement. But more generally, in the future, I expect we’ll be open to signing in with any devs or pubs who are willing, regardless of their past plans about Steam.

      Ultimately I feel these calls must be up to devs and pubs. If Epic said “we won’t consider exclusivity funding agreements with products announced on Steam”, that would have a chilling effect on their willingness to do business with Steam, which isn’t fair to them or Valve.

      And yet you are paying publishers to prevent them from making bussiness with Steam even when they are already being sold and advertised there, and that is fair to Valve? What a hypocrite.

      I think this is normal and not hypocritical. Devs and pubs have every right to decide how to sell their game. Epic makes them an offer. They can seek a better offer from Valve. Valve can beat our offer if they choose. Devs can choose to accept an offer or remain non-exclusive.

          You yourself said that impacting the willingness of devs/publishers to make business with Steam is unfair with Valve, and at the same you are offering a deal that does exactly that. Both Exodus and Anno were being sold and advertised on Steam and had business with Valve.

          And at the same time you claim the "fairness" of paying for them to revoke that business. It is the very definition of hypocrisy.

          This is not normal. I don't want a future where storefront owners are trying to bribe the most popular games for exclusivity on pc. That's the opposite of healthy competition! 😠
