      Isn't the result the same if a game just happens to only be on Steam?

      Yes, the result is the same. The issue has nothing to do with exclusivity, it never has, the actual issue that these people have is just the games they want are not on Steam. These people would be ok with Steam exclusive games, because the games would be on Steam.

      Yes, people would be. But why not politely ask for the games to be on Epic instead of yanking them? If it was on every store possible, it'd be way better. Just ask the devs instead of yanking the games. @TimSweeneyEpic

      This question gets to the core of Epic’s strategy for competing with dominant storefronts. We believe exclusives are the only strategy that will change the 70/30 status quo at a large enough scale to permanently affect the whole game industry.

      @TimSweeneyEpic This won't change the game industry for consoles. Are you going to fight against Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft? You can only buy from one store on those consoles. Not only is there no competition, it is impossible for a new store to exist.https://www.cnbc.com/2019/05/13/supreme-court-rules-against-apple-in-app-store-antitrust-case.html …

      ^^ Gaming is becoming more interconnected and open to play and purchasing between platforms and stores. Everyone benefits from this in the long term.

      Epic has integrated purchasing with UPlay and will launch a direct Humble integration soon. GOG is working to integrate all the ecosystems. Games like Fortnite and Rocket League support cross-platform purchasing across all platforms.

          Every creator is free to decide where to distribute their work. Integrating stores and services through open protocols doesn’t mean every store has the right to sell every product, particularly when some stores charge developers WAY too much.

          Every gamer is free to decide where to distribute their money. Integrating exclusives through cash bait doesn't mean every store has the right to get customers., particularly when some stores gives way less for the same or more expensive price.

          GOG is apparently not your friend. They charge WAY too much from developers. But hey, you can get away with your barebones store and your predatory rev share if you let others do the work of investing in consumer friendly features.

          Hey can you reply 'why' exactly you're still supporting Ubisoft since they clearly stated that they're abusing your store and swindling you out of money? Wasn't some random employee but CEO stating and I quote "We moved to Epic to promote uPlay"
