I like how i never heard steam fanboy before all of this lol. I personally hope it doesnt get content blocked, if im a steam user with 700 games i dont want to use another store for a game or have to wait 6 months to get it on steam. Doesnt seem “open” at all

I’d like to get to the bottom of this issue, because of bunch of folks have stated, sort of as a moral principle, that a big company making exclusives for its own store is okay, but smaller companies working together to build a new store with exclusives is wrong.
-
What’s the essence of this principle? For example, if the Epic Games store were rebuilt as a unified launcher for many companies’ games, with a separate storefront tab for each company - a Gearbox storefront, an Epic storefront, etc - would exclusives then be okay?

As long as EA Games was still the key publisher, no they wouldn't be. I don't see a 2K launcher or Deep Silver Launcher, so it makes no sense for them to release a game on a single launcher and cut off a chunk market... Unless they were offered the difference they would lose.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Because they were already advertised as being available on other platforms? Your approach to exclusivity is the problem here. Go get an exclusive that wasn't advertised elsewhere, such as Steam. I'll wait.

EA both develop and publish their games. They created their monopoly. The closest analogy you have in Epic is only allowing Unreal engine games to be sold through the Epic store. Some (extremely few) EA games are available on other storefronts.

Thing is homie is that Origin exclusives ARE MADE BY EA. If you put EPIC games as exclusives on the EPIC store tahts fine. but you are strong arming consumers by bribing publishers

Well, let's be honest they've killed off most of their other games because Fortnite. But Unreal Engine is a monster. They could better get their goal met by using Unreal an giving better deals using it but that would take time and work, and they aren't willing to do that
