      Epic is hoping that the competition in the game store space will lead the other stores into reducing their revenue split. Think they are open with that aim.

      The authors of a creative work have an unquestionable right to decide what to do with it. If they choose (or they delegate the decision to a publisher who chooses) to release on a store that pays them significantly more, that’s their right.

      Both are fair competition. Developers value having certainty about their revenue from a game, and also value getting a large share of the revenue. These are business with lots of expenses and many mouths to feed.

      How'd you feel if the largest & best store on PC started paying for exclusivity? Would you consider that 'fair competition'?

      Steam’s the largest PC store and already has PC exclusives such as DOTA2, Counterstrike, and Portal. Valve has every right to make deals with developers and publishers to secure more exclusives, just as Apple, Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, and Epic Games do!

      I’d like to challenge critics to state what moral principle you feel is at stake. If it’s okay for one company to avoid the 30% Valve tax by selling exclusively through their own store, why is it wrong for multiple companies to work together to achieve the same goals?

      How they go about avoiding the Valve Tax is the issue, not that they want to do it. They didn't make the game in a vacuum. They had a kickstarter, they made agreements as to what form the game would take. There's no limitation in place that would make the change acceptable.

      The Kickstarter situation is unfortunate. Epic is always supportive of partners fulfilling crowdfunding and pre-order campaigns on stores where they were offered. However, our understanding is that Steam only provides keys for games that are actively sold on Steam.

          "Epic is always supportive of partners fulfilling crowdfunding and pre-order campaigns on stores where they were offered." "Pledge US$ 60 or more PHYSICAL COPY - PC A physical copy of Shenmue 3" So will that physical release be more than a slip of paper in a box now?

          Gee if only there was a way to accomplish that. Too bad epic doesn't have the power to allow games to also be sold elsewhere. Meanwhile microsoft is leagues better for competition than epic ever will.

          You're wrong, you can buy de-listed games from Steam on keysites. All you need is a Steam Database entry, not even a store page is required.. right now, thousands are playing DOTA Underlords even though the page isn't up.

          @steam_games This is the part where you announce that due to the encouraging support from Shenmue 3's Kickstarter backers, you'll allow Steam codes to work even if the game isn't enabled for sale. The backers will choose Steam and the gaming press and its consumers will love it.

          I not really think it's Steam / Valve business to change their workflow because of that. The solution is quiet simple... Why not launching the game on EGS and Steam at the same moment ? (maybe we will have a answer this time...)

          You might want to ditch the exclusivity deals and try taking inspiration from the Payday 2/Hotline Miami crossover deal to make Fortnite an all stars battle royale game for those who buy games on EGS instead. Epic might not look like the bad guys going forward that way.
