WAS IT PAID? No one knows, it doesn't seem like it. It's one thing to be exclusive to a store due to a developer decision, and another to be paid a deal to become exclusive.

This leads to the strategy of exclusives which, though unpopular with dedicated Steam gamers, do work, as established by the major publisher storefronts and by the key Epic Games store releases compared to their former Steam revenue projections and their actual console sales.

In judging whether a disruptive move like this is reasonable in gaming, I suggest considering two questions: Is the solution proportionate to the problem it addresses, and are gamers likely benefit from the end goal if it’s ultimately achieved?

They have more features than epic. But you are putting them against Steam in this comparison. You can't compare an apple to an orange and then say "so clearly all apples fail, because this one particular variety of orange has more juice".

Build a better product and people will buy in. I'm more likely to accept an exclusive to GOG considering their launcher is closer to parity with Steam. The EGS is a fraction of what Steam is. Also, quit bribing devs that have already committed to Steam.

Gog is about 7% the size of steam, people dont move easily.

So, by reaching a scale inferior to 5% of steam, individual stores that have more features and engage in exclusives (1st party exclusives) what leads you to think that's the way to go, how's 100% revenue from a release at 5% engagement better than 70% from a 20x bigger audience?

If the market is so competitive, how do you gain from the better revenue if you're getting less eyeballs and less sells by restricting availability. Why not do something like cd project red, selling on all storefronts and sweetening the deal on their own store.

The biggest BS i've ever heard. Thus is just an excuse/lie for the lack of features. No wonder ppl have been dissing Epic. Gamers are not stupid and they will not accept the cancer of third party exclusivity deals in the PC market.

You realize, that with your exclusives strategy you sabotage the great work by those independent stores too?
