      They aren't. The difference is EA makes the games they publish exclusively. That makes sense lol. Fortnite being exclusive makes sense, Borderlands does not.

      If EA’s dozens of teams can create Origin exclusives, why can’t dozens of companies to collaborate to release exclusives in a new ecosystem together? In all Epic Games store devs merged, would it then be okay? If EA broke up into 30 companies, would Origin then be wrong?

      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?

      You've gone so far to even state you don't care what we think or what we want. You neglect none of this would even exist if no one bought your stuff. It's blatant disregard. Haven't even paid lip service to basic economics. It's what you want. We are the ones paying you.

      The time is to me in these exclusives is the worst part of these deals. No one should have to wait a year or six months. That is just punishment.

      I can't even pre-purchase due to the limited regions of the Epic Games Store. It's a digital copy,it musn't be so difficult to sell.South Africa's laws is not so strict such as China .Why can't I buy a digital game on Epic Games,but I can buy it on every other game client?

      South Africa should be supported, though likely priced in US Dollars. Adding @galyonkin who is working to expand regional pricing.

          Cryptocurrency is exciting tech, and carries impressively low payment processing fees. But we don’t have any immediate plans to adopt it given fraud concerns, not in the core blockchain technology itself, but in the supporting infrastructure such as wallets.

          How poetic. A customer would like to purchase a product but due to unpreparedness by the seller it's not possible. Would be nice to have another option. Instant karma.
