      I kinda agree it seems that way. I dont know Tim but whats going on with pc platform isnt good, its really stirring a lot of shit up. I expect it to get more locked down content wars.

      PC even with a Steam monopoly where we had GOG and Humble and GreenMan and a thousand other companies to choose from was better off six months ago than it is now. PC gaming now feels like the goddamn cold war.

      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

      That's the thing. I believe we should have the freedom to choose. Even with the way the revenue structures are we all agree those need to change. If Epic wanted to be at the forefront and make that a big message I would be celebrating that. As long as they did it in their lane

      What’s more fundamental, though? Developer freedom to choose which stores to sell on, or customer freedom to buy any product at any store? The first derives from the developer’s creative freedom and ownership of the works they create.

      What developer freedom? The PUBLISHERS see your fat wad of cash and tell them to get in line and sign on the dotted line.

      Developers own their work and have the right to decide how to publish it. When a developer chooses to sign with a publisher, they give the publisher that right in exchange for receiving some combination of funding and royalties.

      Whichever party has the publishing rights typically does business with Valve or Epic. Sometimes that’s the developer, and sometimes it’s the publisher. They split the revenue between them however they have agreed.

      Devolver has also expressed a bit of regret as well. In fact I haven't seen a happy developer yet that has signed exclusive to Epic

      I don’t know what Devolver has said publicly or to us, but many, many Epic Games store exclusive devs and pubs have said privately to us that they are happy with their decision and firmly believe in the mission of changing 70/30 store economics.

      The truth is, many are reluctant to speak in support publicly because of the enormous angst r/pcgaming folks are directing at each of them, both as companies and individuals. It takes a thick skin for anyone to speak up in that situation.

          And to be clear, it’s not the rational arguments against this strategy, or expressions of disagreement, that make them reluctant - these are industry pros who make hard decisions all the time.

          They should be reluctant. This strategy will fail in the long term. All you have done is alienate possible early patrons of your 'store' by continuing to mock, and then getting people like goofy Randy Pitchford to fall on his sword defending your anti consumer practices.

          Steam is still doing well even after being forced on PC gamers to play HL2. I’d say in the long run non of this will matter.

          And why could have that have happened hmm? What could possibly make people reluctant to support the EGS? Maybe the EGS's own actions?
