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.
Are developers with exclusivity contracts with you allowed to release DRM free physical copies that don't use any client whether it be Steam or Epic?
I looked into this and the negotiated terms vary but we’d be receptive towards developers who want to do this. Generally though most planned not to release retail discs.
