      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?

      The 30% store tax usually exceeds the entire profits of the developer who built the game that’s sold. This is a disastrous situation for developers and publishers alike, so I believe the strategy of exclusives is proportionate to the problem.

      If the Epic strategy either succeeds in building a second major storefront for PC games with an 88/12 revenue split, or even just leads other stores to significantly improve their terms, the result will be a major wave of reinvestment in game development and a lowering of costs.

      Will the resulting 18% increase in developer and publisher revenue benefit gamers? Such gains are generally split among (1) reinvestment, (2) profit, and (3) price reduction. The more games are competing with each other, the more likely the proceeds are to go to (1) and (3).

      So I believe this approach passes the test of ultimately benefitting gamers after game storefronts have rebalanced and developers have reinvested more of their fruits of their labor into creation rather than taxation.

      And you could have done this by just offering a fair open free trade market instead of harming devs with forcing them into deals they had no wish to partake in, by paying off their publishers who in many cases are just walking with the money and leaving that dev high and dry.

      Mean while more than half of the game on Epic are from self publishing developers, then a number of games from indie developers with publishers for distribution support where the developer is the one that chose the exclusivity. Your post here is not based on reality at all.

      But considering you are the one that seems to think there is a conspiracy theory that SJW media is attacking a game that SJWs hate because it has many things in it that triggers SJWs, is being done by a complicated web of investments and partnerships to help out Epic

      Who said anything about sjw media. Its a bunch of connected singularly financially tied at the hip companies writing smear peices against a major competitor. Those are the facts, not opinion.

      Epic has absolutely nothing to do with that. CDPR is an Epic partner we greatly respect. They’re currently taking pre-orders through the Epic Games store, and we’re big fans of their efforts to connect ecosystems with GOG Galaxy.

          Then why is your business partners funding all these hit peices on them? Not even mentioning the fact that they all have north of one billion dollars invested into YOUR company? Why is it you will insult steam for nudity but embrace a full nudity game. Hypocritical just a bit no?

          don't suppose you would release those exclusives to be sold on GOG Galaxy then? I'd totally buy from them.

          It's possible the investors see things a little differently and act on their own though. Not saying that's definitely the case, but I'm keeping an open mind.

          If profits to the Devs was the #1 goal, then they take any pre-orders, or give 100% of the profits and just run commercials on the store front. But it's not about the Dev's it's about crushing the competition.
