Because that would allow backers to escape Epic by freeing the rewards they are owed from the hostage situation of only being delivered by Epic keys, and Timmy doesn't like that. Why do you think he's trying so hard to make it seem like giving Steam keys NOW is the only option?

You don't even need to issue refunds! Like I keep saying, just let people choose between the EGS version at launch or the Steam version after the exclusivity ends! That's the important bit: *choice*. Let us choose. Even if the solution isn't ideal, let us have a choice.

It's good that you're trying to get Steam keys at launch. But if that doesn't work out, then let us choose if we want to wait for a Steam key or just get the EGS key at launch. Some ppl will wait, some ppl will get the EGS key, but 100% of them will appreciate having a choice.

Or you could remove the exclusivity period and actually compete fairly with steam so it's a great "business opportunity" for them. As of right now, this great "business opportunity" is a PR nightmare with a lot of lost business.

Hey Valve's policy doesn't do what you say it does. A regular agreement to launch the game on Epic CONCURRENTLY would still "free it from 30%" without throwing existing obligations and expectations under the bus. Valve's "trap" allowed for that and it would be cheaper for Epic!

You don't need to sugar coat "big bag of money". The alternative is to buy into games that DON'T have backers who expect "PC" to mean a client with actual features, "physical" to mean more than a slip of paper, and "Kickstarter exclusive" to mean "not sold for less on Epic".

So breaking Kickstarter policy lieing to consumers and dening refunds only has to do with your percentage I'm starting to notice a pattern that's the only thing you argue with valve makes a better platform and epics become a joke
