      @TimSweeneyEpic care to explain what’s going on with Observation after what was said here? The game was already set for Steamhttps://barrelrolled.com/epic-games-says-they-wont-make-another-metro-exodus-mistake-again …

      We've had a lot of discussions about this since GDC. Epic is open to continuing to sign funding / exclusivity deals with willing developers and publishers regardless of their previous plans or announcements around Steam.

      So basically what you said at GDC was a lie?

      At GDC, Steve Allison said “We don’t want to do that ever again” when asked about the Metro Exodus controversy, see:https://segmentnext.com/2019/03/23/epic-games-store-head-regrets-metro-exodus-we-dont-want-to-do-that-ever-again/ …

      This prompted further discussions at Epic, leading to the realization that these calls must be up to developers and publishers, and Epic wouldn’t tell them “no” on account of existing statements made about Steam.

      It's up to you, not the developers. Most developers won't tell you "no" when you offer them millions of dollars to screw over their Steam fanbase. If you're going to pull this crap, at least acknowledge what you're doing. Tim Weenie.

      Yes, we’re paying developers money in exchange for exclusives and free game releases! We’ve been saying this all along.

          Except for at GDC where "we don't ever want to do that again " was said. Most of the things you and Epic have said seem to be more about shifting blame to developers or other excuses.

          What's even more concerning is what you haven't been saying all along, like scanning user's pc for data without permission.

          Yes, that's the way Moneyhatting-Tim is doing his business. Throwing money around instead of improving his actual service.

          So games available exclusively that are third party developed make for an open market how exactly? Limits sales to only your store that seems to go against the whole I am for an open platform that you are always preaching about.

          Ignore the naysayers Tim. Keep spending money on exclusives! The WeGame-Epic merger can’t happen otherwise. Developers AND consumers will benefit!
